Macro to highlight 100s of proper nouns

Thanks, macropod and sorry I didn't know about the code tags, but will add in future.

Could I ask 2 quick questions re the code:

(a) Do I put as many terms as will fit into:

Code:

vFindText = "England,France"

And then continue in:

Code:

vFindText = vFindText & ",New Zealand,Zambia"

And then if that runs out, copy and paste the above to create a 3rd vFindText line (my current list runs to well over 500 terms so I imagine I need quite a few lines)?

(b) I need spaces in some terms so only whole words are found, eg 'An ' - do I just put a space before the following comma?
