Most of my work is looking for changes in a document, and then highlighting them. These changes are indicated in the document as underlined, or strikethrough. Is there a way to search for these types of changes, and highlight them, instead of acutal words? I have been searching online and cannot find anything yet. Hoping you guys could help.

thanks much!

It is easy to highlight many words in many word files using this small utility found on the net

Hi ScriptingGuy1 and Team,

How would you change this script so that we would be able to find the say 100 words listed in a .doc file and highlight each of them in different color? [Exception: In case we have fewer colors to choose then some words may use repeated colors]

I hope we do not go in for the exception.

I look forward your earliest reply!

Thanks a lot!

If I need to highlight a phrase, what's the best method of doing this?

Ex. I need to search and highlight "I feel that"

Using a method I learned where I create a seperate text files doesn't work because it searches and highlights the individual words. So, My questions is, can I put multi-word phrases into the arrWords array and have it search for the multi-word items?

Thank you for your time. Since you guys don't use any "subscribe to comments" plugin which would inform me when you reply, would you mind sending me a little note to shanearthur (at) gmail.com when you guys reply? Thanks a million of you can.
