Hello,

Please help with a macro to convert a list of one or two words in a column to a combination of the same word/s with as many correctly spelt concatenated suffix synomyms possible, listed below are some examples:

Fish = Fishes, Fisher....

Family Photo = Family Photos, Families Photo, Families Photos...

Credit Rate = Credit Rating, Credit Rates, Creditor Rate, Creditor Rating, Creditor Rates...


Thanks very much for your help.
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
What kind of dictionary will be used to generate these synonyms? It kinda sounds like you want someone to write an English dictionary program for you ... but I must be mistaken, surely.

Let me have a list of 'root' words, a list of suffixes, a set of rules to decide which suffixes to apply to which root words and which ones don't belong together, a rule to decide how much of the root word to remove before adding each suffix, and a method for determining whether each resulting word or combination of words is correctly spelled.

BTW, in what context would anyone ever say or write "Families Photos"?
