How to highlight text in a Word document using a word list from another document

Thank you so much, macropod!
I'm so grateful for your help.

As always, your solution is elegant.

Just for future reference, I would like to mention a little problem I had with this part of the code:

Code:

Set RngFnd = FRDoc.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range
      With RngFnd
        .End = .End - 1
        .Copy
        strFnd = .Text
      End With
      .Text = strFnd

When I run it, it didn't find any match when clearly there were many. Then I introduced a small modification:

Code:

Set RngFind = GlossaryDoc.Tables(1).Cell(i, 1).Range
    With RngFind
        .Copy
        .End = .End - 2
      strFind = .Text
    End With
    .Text = strFind

It works fine now but there is a little final problem: The replacement text keeps the column formatting (which I don't want). It is probably a stupid question but is there a simple command to copy into the clipboard that highlighted, commented text in regular format?

Once again, Paul (macropod), thank you so very much for all of your help.
