In the Find dialog, you can select "Whole words only." Perhaps there's a way
to modify the macro accordingly?

That is so helpful that I am planning to mention it to the rest of my
writers
guild! I do have one question though. Is there a way to make it flag only
entire words (for example it is coloring the word "very" -- even in the
word
everything)? Thanks.

Download the free "Word Crayon" from my site at
www.mousetrax.com/downloads.html that was build for this very
purpose...and be sure to check out the TechTrax article associated
with it for details.

You can use it to create a list of words and add any colors you want.
Then run it against any docs and you'll get the highlight notification
you want.

BTW...a newspaper editor created a cliche list as an enhancement to
it...and I plan to add that in the February issue of TechTrax
(www.mousetrax.com/techtrax) should you want to also add that next
month.

Enjoy!

There are some words that I tend to use too much when I type. I would
like to
get Word XP to flag them in some way (highlight them, color their text,
or
something like that) so that I can easily see where and how much I have
used
them. It would be awesome if I could color-code the list. Will Word do
anything like this?
