Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.

It would help if you showed us what the three example names should look like after JACK is replaced.

How I understand you need this:

Code:
Sub Macro_Replace()
    Range("A1:A50").Replace What:="*JACK*", Replacement:="JACK"
End Sub
