The macro works fine. I would like to know code which can highlight multiple words in different colours in excel and word. It can change the color of a cell containing the word or show a pop-out (similar to a html page) from a cell showing the highlighted text.

Thanks in advance.

DTK,

Unfortunately you need to post your question in a new thread, it's against the forum rules to post a question in the thread of another user. If you create your own thread, any advice will be tailored to your situation so you should include a description of what you've done and are trying to do. Also, if you feel that this thread is particularly relevant to what you are trying to do, you can surely include a link to it in your new thread.
