That would be perfect! I have no idea how to write or use macros,
though, could you possibly direct me to one and give me pointers on
how to use it? Thanks!

You can't do *anything* automatically while you type, other than
autocorrect which isn't going to help you here.

You could write a macro that reads words from a file or table,
searches for them in another document, and formats them in a special
way. Would that help?

Hi all, does anyone know, if you have a file of words you want to
keep track
of, if there's a way to automatically highlight those words in
another file,
or to put those words in a table in the other file, then
automatically highlight them as they're typed or they already
appear in the document? Thanks!
