Highlight Words from a Word List

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to create a macro for Microsoft Word 2013. However, it does not work.

Here is the code:

Code:

Sub CompareWordList() 
    Dim sCheckDoc As String 
    Dim docRef As Document 
    Dim docCurrent As Document 
    Dim wrdRef As Object 
    sCheckDoc = "C:\checklist.doc" 
    Set docCurrent = Selection.Document 
    Set docRef = Documents.Open(sCheckDoc) 
    docCurrent.Activate 
    With Selection.Find 
        .ClearFormatting 
        .Replacement.ClearFormatting 
        .Replacement.Font.Bold = True 
        .Replacement.Text = "^&" 
        .Forward = True 
        .Format = True 
        .MatchWholeWord = True 
        .MatchCase = True 
        .MatchWildcards = False 
    End With 
    For Each wrdRef In docRef.Words 
        If Asc(Left(wrdRef, 1)) > 32 Then 
            With Selection.Find 
                .Wrap = wdFindContinue 
                .Text = wrdRef 
                .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll 
            End With 
        End If 
    Next wrdRef 
    docRef.Close 
    docCurrent.Activate 
End Sub

I would really like this to work for Word 2013. Could you guys help me?

I found it on the following link, where it says it works for 2007 and 2010 only: http://wordribbon.tips.net/T001173_H...Word_List.html

That code should work with any Word version. There is nothing in it that isn't generic to every version from Word 95 to Word 2013.

PS: When posting code, please use the code tags. They're on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.
