Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues

Hello All...
I use the term Fundamental in the title, because I've always used a Column number to find the column I wanted to work on.
In the above code, I use Column C because the heading of C4 is the data I wish to copy and move.
Instead, is there a way to find the heading word in any column to choose that column to work with.
For example, what if C4 has a title/heading of "Zone". Instead of counting over or using C4, can I have excel search for the term "Zone", regardless of column number, and excel will "know" that is the column I wish to work on?
I've never done it this way, or if it is possible.
Thanks for the help

OK..This is working nicely...Thank you
Instead of Copy the column, what if I wanted to cut and paste, instead of copy and paste?
I tried using Cut instead of Copy, and it faulted on me
Thanks

Code:
[Set Fnd = Range("4:4").Find("Document", , , xlWhole, , , False, , False)
If Not Fnd Is Nothing Then
    Intersect(Range("4:5000"), Fnd.EntireColumn).Cut
    Range("H4").Insert Shift:=xlToRight

This is working for me if I want to cut instead of copy

thanks
