Set oChanges = Documents.Open(Filename:=sFname, Visible:=False)
Set oTable = oChanges.Tables(1)
For Each oCell In oTable.Range.Cells
If Len(oCell.Range) > 2 Then
Set oRng = oDoc.Range
Set rFindText = oCell.Range
rFindText.End = rFindText.End - 1
With oRng.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Do While .Execute(FindText:=rFindText, _
MatchWholeWord:=True) = True
oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
Loop
End With
End If
Next oCell

oChanges.Close 0
Set oChanges = Nothing
Set oDoc = Nothing
Set oRng = Nothing
