How do I drop a particular word

Hi All,

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

 

How can I drop a particular word, whenever, found out of a given field?  I want to drop the word "Parish" for certain (for state of LA) and maybe the word "County" too.

 

Example:

 

County Name                               County Name Results

Benton County                              Benton

St Charles County                        St Charles

Arnold Parish                                Arnold

St Louis County                            St Louis

 

Thanks

The simplest version is to use a Formula tool to replace the word with a blank with a formula like this:

 

Replace([County Name]," County","")

 

I've attached an example that show this in action along with another method that uses the Find Replace tool.
