Although that would be possible, consistency of highlighting would require a major re-write of the code. And, in any event, there's only 15 highlights one could use for this, meaning they'd have to be recycled once you get beyond that.

Hi,

Thank you for the Code, it works a treat with something I'm working on, but as you previously stated, it runs quite slow.

The document I'm working on is about 60'000 words, I left this macro running. but 9 hours later it's still looking like it's running.

Testing on smaller text, it works quicker, so my thought was, could we some how modify the code to run per page in the document, update what it's found and then repeat for the remaining pages?

I accept it would take a little longer, but you would at least see a visual representation of progress of sorts.

I'm also open to anything else that would make this run faster if possible.

Thank you once again and sorry for bringing an old thread back up.
