I have the following code that basically searches column O and deletes any rows that contain the words in the array. Only problem is it wont remove rows where the words have capitals in or vice versa. I have lots of keywords to search for so adding different versions of each word isn't an option

Code:
Sub DelRows()
Dim V As Variant, DeleteMe As Variant
DeleteMe = Array("suma", "screw")
For Each V In DeleteMe
 Columns("O").Replace "*" & V & "*", "#N/A", xlWhole, , True, False, False
Next
On Error Resume Next
 Columns("O").SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlErrors).EntireRow.Delete
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Can Excel fill bagel flavors?
You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
This isn't a full solution, but it may steer you in the right direction. Using "UCase" you can convert everything in a string to upper case, then do the replace task. This code converts everything in your array to uppercase, so works on text in the "O" column which is ALL upper case, but so far I can't see how to get the col O values to upper case, so it's still not working on anything in col O which is only PARTLY upper case...
Code:
Sub DelRows()
Dim V As Variant, DeleteMe As Variant
Dim cl As Range
Dim rng As Range

Set rng = ActiveSheet.Columns("O")
DeleteMe = Array("suma", "screw")

For Each V In DeleteMe
 Columns("O").Replace "*" & UCase(V) & "*", "#N/A", xlWhole, , True, False, False

Next
On Error Resume Next
 Columns("O").SpecialCells(xlConstants, xlErrors).EntireRow.Delete
On Error GoTo 0

End Sub

Try
Code:
 Columns("O").Replace "*" & V & "*", "#N/A", xlWhole, , [COLOR=#ff0000]False, ,[/COLOR] False, False
You had match case set to True, rather than False.
You where also missing an extra coma.
