<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I've got a VB array of words that are important to me.<br />
I'd like to figure out some sort of a visual markup that lets the user identify those words easily. &nbsp;I was thinking that highlight would be a good use. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
1) Given a list of words, is there a way to highlight them all in a given word document?<br />
<br />
2) When the user goes to close the document, it will probably ask them if they want to save the changes they made to the document even if they didn't make any, because of the highlighting. &nbsp;I don't really want this to happen, so does anyone also know the line of code for clearing all highlighting? &nbsp;Or even better, clearing the highlighting the other macro made? &nbsp;Maybe making an undo is a better course..<br />

MS Word, Use Visual Basic to Highlight words?

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
