Hello all,

Is it possible in MS Word 2003 (or in later versions?) to run the 'find and replace' function with not only one single word, but a number of words?

What I want to do is highlight in my word doc about 10 different words, and I'm wondering if there's a better way than running 10 separate 'find/replace' queries. I'm going to need to do this on a large number of word docs, so doing one 'find/replace' rather than 10 for each doc would considerably shorten the whole operation.

A friend sent me a macro (http://help.lockergnome.com/office/W...ct1010011.html) that enabled me to highlight all occurences of my 10 keywords at once, but I have two issues with this solution:
- two of my keywords are 'man' and 'men', and so all words that include these three letters get highlighted.
- (if I got that right) the macro would apparently need to be manually installed in every single one of my many, many word docs, so that would also be a big waste of time.

Thanks in advance for your help.
