by suffix of a word i am assuming that you mean ..ing, ..ed, etc.

The only way I can think of would be to write a function such as this.

You have an array of all the possible suffixes call this suffixes

Private Function findSuffix(word as string) as string 
   
   Dim suffixes() as string, i as integer
   Dim tmpLen as integer   

   suffixes(0) = "ing"
   suffixes(1) = "er"
   suffixes(2) = "ed"
   
   'Return vbNullString by default
   findSuffix = vbNullString 

   For i = LBound(suffixes) to UBound(suffixes)
      tmpLen = Len(suffixes(i))
      If suffixes(i) = Right$(word, tmpLen) Then
         findSuffix = suffixes(i)
         Exit For
      Endif 
   Next

End Function

Only way I can think of

Someone else may have a better idea
