Default removing cells with certain words in it

What would be the code for the following two things:

#1:
- check the cell in column 4
- if it contains the word "calculated" anywhere in the cell either as a
stand alone word or as part of a larger word - do nothing
- otherwise, go to procedure "proceed".

#2:
- if the contents of the cell meet the following two conditions:
a) contains the digits 1 and 4
b) does not contain the word "calculated" anywhere in the cell either as
a stand alone word or as part of a larger word
then go on to procedure "proceed".
If it doesn't meet the above conditions, do nothing.

Many thanks in advance.

Matthew Kramer
