Hi I am after some VBA code which might make life  easier for myself and a few colleagues!

I have an excel spreadsheet which has text in column A (Description). In the text in this column I wish to search for several keywords which are listed in  column E (Keywords). When the macrco finds a keyword in column A it should change the font of the found word to red. A word repeated should be changed twice. Example below 

Thanks for your assistance 

 

Description       Keywords
Mary had a little lamb       Mary
When in Rome do as the Romans do       Rain
Mary Mary quite contrary       rain
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain        
This little pig when to market        
Rain rain go away

Hi,

Please test the atached file. You can enter new strings in column A and add more keywords in column E.
