Default Compare text in 2 different files

I am using Excel 2003 and have two files containing mailing information. I
need to check and see which companies are on both lists. I can't use a
VLOOKUP formula because some of the company names are slightly different.
e.g. One may have a LLC or Inc. at the end and the other doesn't. Is there a
formula I can use to compare the first 4 or 5 letters in the company name
between the two files? Thanks! Paige
