There shouldn't be any false positives in terms of VBA 'sentences'. However, because of the limitations in what VBA counts as a sentence, parts of grammatical sentences may be highlighted even though the grammatical sentences differ. This could even lead to a situation where all of a grammatical sentence somewhere in the document is highlighted because the VBA 'sentence' parts of it are found elsewhere.
