Actually, with a bit of tweaking the code you posted over at the reference above looks like it should work (may be a few days before I can try it, though). I'd just substitute the words I want with the ones you listed there (dog,cat,pig...). Since the words the macro would be looking for would already be highlighted, though, I would not want to clear the formatting and would change the .Replacement.Highlight state to False, right?

Looks pretty straight-forward. I'll let you know next week if/how it worked.

Thanks again.
