Default

The following should do the trick for selected text
Code:
Sub Highlight_Plus_Adjacent_Words()

Dim MyWords As Variant
Dim RngWords As Range
Dim oRng As Range
Dim i As Integer

    MyWords = Split("one,two,three,four,five", ",")
    Set oRng = Selection.Range
    For i = 0 To UBound(MyWords)
        Set RngWords = oRng
        With RngWords.Find
            Do While .Execute(FindText:=MyWords(i), MatchWholeWord:=True)
                With RngWords
                    .Start = .Previous.Words(1).Start
                    .End = .Next.Words(1).Next.Words(1).End
                    .MoveEndWhile Chr(32), wdBackward
                    .HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
                    .Collapse 0
                    If .Start >= oRng.End Then Exit Do
                End With
            Loop
        End With
    Next i
lbl_Exit:
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Set RngWords = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub
