Through searching for older post, i found this formula below, however, as for the StrFnd part, it appears that there are too many words i entered inside the string and it split the rest to the next column and that makes the remain words exclude from the string. How can i alternate the formula so i can include a large amount of words in String for search. Thanks
Sub HiLightList() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Dim StrFnd As String, Rng As Range, i As Long StrFnd = "dog,cat,pig,horse,man" For i = 0 To UBound(Split(StrFnd, ",")) Set Rng = ActiveDocument.Range With Rng.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = Split(StrFnd, ",")(i) .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Replacement.Highlight = True .Replacement.Text = "^&" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = True .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = True .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With Next Set Rng = Nothing Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub |

Put the words in the first column of a table and save the document (sfName). Then use the following:
Code:
Sub HiLightFromTableList()
Dim oChanges As Document, oDoc As Document
Dim oTable As Table
Dim oRng As Range
Dim rFindText As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim sfName As String
Dim sAsk As String
sfName = "C:\Path\Find.docx"
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
Set oChanges = Documents.Open(FileName:=sfName, Visible:=False)
Set oTable = oChanges.Tables(1)
For i = 1 To oTable.Rows.Count
Set oRng = oDoc.Range
Set rFindText = oTable.Cell(i, 1).Range
rFindText.End = rFindText.End - 1
With oRng.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:=rFindText, _
MatchCase:=False, _
MatchWholeWord:=True, _
MatchWildcards:=False, _
Forward:=True, _
Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With
DoEvents
Next i
oChanges.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Code:
Sub Macro1()
Const strWorkbook As String = "C:\Path\Highlight.xlsx"
Const strSheet As String = "Sheet1"
Dim strFind As String
Dim oRng As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim Arr() As Variant
Arr = xlFillArray(strWorkbook, strSheet)
For i = 0 To UBound(Arr, 2)
strFind = Arr(0, i)
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:=strFind, _
MatchCase:=False, _
MatchWholeWord:=True, _
MatchWildcards:=False, _
Forward:=True, _
Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With
DoEvents
Next i
Set oRng = Nothing
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
Private Function xlFillArray(strWorkbook As String, _
strRange As String) As Variant
'Graham Mayor - http://www.gmayor.com - 24/09/2016
Dim RS As Object
Dim CN As Object
Dim iRows As Long
strRange = strRange & "$]" 'Use this to work with a named worksheet
'strRange = strRange & "]" 'Use this to work with a named range

.MoveFirst
End With
xlFillArray = RS.GetRows(iRows)
If RS.State = 1 Then RS.Close
Set RS = Nothing
If CN.State = 1 Then CN.Close
Set CN = Nothing
lbl_Exit:
Exit Function
End Function

Yes - For the first option, create a table in a Word document, for the second create an Excel workbook. They will work with Office 2010.

Thanks for your help gmayor!

Or should i copy the location path in and replace it to the path part, and replace sfName.docx with Find.docx?

"C:\Path\Find.docx" is the name and path of the document with the table. If you have named it something else, or stored it somewhere else, make the changes in the line
sfName = "C:\Path\Find.docx" to reflect what you have done,
