Hi I am using the code below to open programs if the user types in the correct word, however I'm not sure how to add an Or Statement or if I need to add individual words to be found. Can someone help with this please.

So for example I want to these optional words to be used in the CASE statement, "Calc" Or "Cal" Or "Calculator"

Code:
Option Explicit
Dim retVal As String
Sub MyTest()
'
    Dim addStr As String
    addStr = InputBox("Open...", "Open Program")
    If addStr = UCase(addStr) Or addStr = LCase(addStr) Or addStr = StrConv(addStr, vbProperCase) Then
    addStr = StrConv(addStr, vbProperCase)
    End If
    If addStr = vbNullString Then Exit Sub
    Select Case addStr
        Case Is = "Word"
                retVal = Shell("WINWORD.EXE", vbMaximizedFocus)
        Case Is = "Calc"
                retVal = Shell("calc.exe", vbMaximizedFocus)
    End Select
End Sub
