So I am looking in column I for partial texts. For instance Column I can say:

"Health Care, Doctor J"
"Formula 1 Driver Ayrton Senna"
"Dog Toys"

My VBA is looking for a specific partial string in column I and then putting another specific text in Column L. So the one I have written here says if the words health care are in a cell in column I, then the corresponding cell in Column L will now say "Yes, Healthcare" in bold letters.

For Each c In Range("I3:I100")
If InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "health care") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "Yes, Healthcare"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
Else
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Font.Bold = False
.ClearContents
End With
End If

What I want to do is add another part to this vba that looks for the words "Formula 1" and will write, "Yes, Formula 1" in the corresponding cell in column L. Exactly the same as the healthcare one above, just with these new parameters. How would I go about doing this?

Try it like this:

If you use indention it can be easier to read code. Note how the For Next construct is on one indent level while the If statement and with statement are on another

Code: 
[COLOR=#0000ff]For Each[/COLOR] c [COLOR=#0000ff]In[/COLOR] Range("I3:I100")
   [COLOR=#0000ff] If [/COLOR]InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "health care") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=#0000ff]  With[/COLOR] Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "Yes, Healthcare"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
       [COLOR=#0000ff] End With[/COLOR]
 [COLOR=#0000ff]   ElseIf[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Financial") > 0[COLOR=#0000ff] Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#0000ff]With[/COLOR] Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]False[/COLOR]
            .ClearContents
[COLOR=#0000ff]        End With[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]    Else[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#008000]        'Something Else[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]    End If[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]Next[/COLOR]

So this? Spacing on here is not working for me no matter how I format it for some reason...

For Each c In Range("I2:I600")
If InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Health Net") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "Health Care"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Regence") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "BCBS"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "BCBS") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "BCBS"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Blue") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "BCBS"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Providence") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "Providence"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Moda") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "Moda"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Care Oregon") > 0 Then
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Value = "Care Oregon"
.Font.Bold = True
End With
With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
.Font.Bold = False
.ClearContents
End With
End If
Next

Do this to preserve formatting when posting:
Put "["code"]" before your code, and "["/code"]" after your code, without the quote marks.
Code: 
paste your code here

Rich (BB code): 
 For Each c In Range("I2:I600") 
ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Regence") > 0 Then
        With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
    ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "BCBS") > 0 Then
        With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
    ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Blue") > 0 Then
        With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
    ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Providence") > 0 Then
        With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "Providence"
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
    ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Moda") > 0 Then
        With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "Moda"
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With
    ElseIf InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Texas Care") > 0 Then
        With Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "Texas Care"
            .Font.Bold = True
        End With

Ah got it. So why is this not working? When I try to run it, none of them work?

No / for the one at the beginning.

Try stepping through the code using F8 or putting in some Debug.Print statements to see if the value is what you expect....

Code: 
 [COLOR=#0000ff]For Each[/COLOR] c [COLOR=#0000ff]In [/COLOR]Range("I2:I600") 
   [COLOR=#0000ff] If[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Regence") > 0[COLOR=#0000ff] Then[/COLOR]
       [COLOR=#0000ff] Debug.Print [/COLOR]"Regence: " & c.Value
        [COLOR=#0000ff]With [/COLOR]Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
     [COLOR=#0000ff]   End With[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]    ElseIf[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "BCBS") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#0000ff]Debug.Print[/COLOR] "BCBS: " & c.Value
        [COLOR=#0000ff]With[/COLOR] Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold =[COLOR=#0000ff] True[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]    End With[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]    ElseIf [/COLOR]InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Blue") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]

            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
      [COLOR=#0000ff]  End With[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#0000ff]  ElseIf[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Providence") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]

      [COLOR=#0000ff]  Debug.Print[/COLOR] "Moda: " & c.Value
     [COLOR=#0000ff]   With[/COLOR] Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "Moda"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#0000ff]End With[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]    Else [/COLOR]
     [COLOR=#0000ff]   Debug.Print [/COLOR]"Else: " & c.Value
      [COLOR=#0000ff]  With[/COLOR] Cells(c.Row, lastcol)
            .Value = "Texas Care"
            .Font.Bold = T[COLOR=#0000ff]rue[/COLOR]
     [COLOR=#0000ff]   End With
    End If[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff] Next[/COLOR]

Use Ctrl + G to display the Immediate Window in the VBE to view the "printed" statements

All that one did was put Texas Care in every cell on the last column. Did I miss something on the code?

What are the values in column I?

You can try debugging the code by typing a statement in the immediate window like this? ----> Mid Procedure and see what the value is....

Code: 
?[COLOR=#333333]InStr(1, LCase(c.Value), "Regence")[/COLOR]

Is it greater then 0?? Is it something other than you expect?

You could also change your code like this..... Then you can see what row the results occur at:

Code: 
[COLOR=#0000ff]For [/COLOR]c = 2 [COLOR=#0000ff]To [/COLOR]600
  [COLOR=#0000ff]  If[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(cells(c, "I"),"Regence") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#0000ff]Debug.Print[/COLOR] "Regence: " & c
       [COLOR=#0000ff] With [/COLOR]Cells(c, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
   [COLOR=#0000ff]     End With[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#0000ff]ElseIf [/COLOR]InStr(1, LCase(cells(c, "I"), "BCBS") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000ff]        Debug.Print[/COLOR] "BCBS: " & c
   [COLOR=#0000ff]     With [/COLOR]Cells(c, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
 [COLOR=#0000ff]       End With
    ElseIf[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(cells(c, "I"), "Blue") > 0[COLOR=#0000ff] Then[/COLOR]
     [COLOR=#0000ff]   Debug.Print [/COLOR]"Blue: " & c
        [COLOR=#0000ff]With [/COLOR]Cells(c, lastcol)
            .Value = "BCBS"
            .Font.Bold = True
 [COLOR=#0000ff]       End With[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#0000ff]  ElseIf[/COLOR] InStr(1, LCase(cells(c, "I"), "Providence") > 0[COLOR=#0000ff] Then[/COLOR]
       [COLOR=#0000ff] Debug.Print[/COLOR] "Providence: " & c
        [COLOR=#0000ff]With[/COLOR] Cells(c, lastcol)
            .Value = "Providence"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
 [COLOR=#0000ff]       End With[/COLOR]
   [COLOR=#0000ff] ElseIf [/COLOR]InStr(1, LCase(cells(c, "I"), "Moda") > 0 [COLOR=#0000ff]Then[/COLOR]
       [COLOR=#0000ff] Debug.Print [/COLOR]"Moda: " & c
        [COLOR=#0000ff]With [/COLOR]Cells(c, lastcol)
            .Value = "Moda"
            .Font.Bold = [COLOR=#0000ff]True[/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#0000ff]End With[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#0000ff]  Else [/COLOR]
        [COLOR=#0000ff]Debug.Print [/COLOR]"Else: " & c
