Default How to filter a column of text for exact words

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me how to filter a column of text for exact words in
a column which contains over 25,000 descriptions of items. For example, I
would like to see only the ones which contain the exact words TABLE or TABLES
and not other words like TABLET or VEGETABLE, etc. I am using Excel 2003.
I have been searching all day and I'm not proud to say I still can't figure
it out!
