Find and highlight multiple words in MS Word document
Hello all,
Is it possible in MS Word 2003 (or in later versions?) to run the 'find and replace' function with not only one single word, but a number of words? What I want to do is highlight in my word doc about 10 different words, and I'm wondering if there's a better way than running 10 separate 'find/replace' queries. I'm going to need to do this on a large number of word docs, so doing one 'find/replace' rather than 10 for each doc would considerably shorten the whole operation. A friend sent me a macro (http://help.lockergnome.com/office/W...ct1010011.html) that enabled me to highlight all occurences of my 10 keywords at once, but I have two issues with this solution: - two of my keywords are 'man' and 'men', and so all words that include these three letters get highlighted. - (if I got that right) the macro would apparently need to be manually installed in every single one of my many, many word docs, so that would also be a big waste of time. Thanks in advance for your help. |
