Bob:
I'm not exactly sure what you want but here are some steps that  
could be embedded in some code - maybe in a button function:

notebookMake:=If[a==1, nb=NotebookPut[Notebook[{Cell["Made it!",  
"Title"]}]]]
a=1;
notebookMake;
NotebookFind[nb,"!"];
SelectionMove[nb, After, Word]
NotebookWrite[nb," Hurrah!", After]
NotebookClose[nb]
