Hi Peter

I'm afraid Replace All and Find are not sufficient for the task I need to do.  
I am writing a novel and need a macro which highlights or marks in some way, all the words and phrases modern editors no longer want us to use. Just below is an email from a friend who has this kind of macro set up on her PC by another friend. She doesn't not know how it was done so she can't tell me. You will see from the following excerpt from one of my chapters how it looks when scanned by the macro and would look once it is printed out for me to use as an editing tool.
 I use Windows 98se with Word  and Office 2000

  Dorothy, this is the macro'd version just fyi see if it gives you any help/ideas.. It looks for adverbs (-ly words), had/had been/have/could/would/should/, was/were, and/then/it/that, there are, almost/seemed/started, frown/smile/shrug, etc. 

   

  (... look at all the "and"s)

  CHAPTER TEN

   

   

  At precisely one minute to midnight on New Years Eve, Emilio followed Don Clooney, up the stairs to the second floor flat in a run-down Victorian house in Altrincham. They stopped outside a door with peeling paint, and heard the sound of childish laughter and music. According to Thomas, the family would be watching the festivities on the television while toasting the New Year with the bottles of wine and soft drinks Thomas and Gillian had brought with them. Emilio examined the door and wondered how easy it would be to break it down, just like the one they had passed on the ground floor. He wrinkled his nose at the smell of cat spray, urine and stale beer wafting up from below. That, and a couple of youths sniffing aerosols in the shelter of the ground floor hallway, painted a far different picture from the glittering party he would have enjoyed with Tony's Country Music friends in Nashville. 

   

  Don handed him a heavy carrier bag then stepped back to merge with the shadows, checked his watch and signalled for him to knock on the door. He glanced down at the carrier bag, and felt trapped. Too bad all the flights back to Nashville were booked up till Monday. It's definitely plan 'A' for me. I'll not stay in this stinking hole a minute longer than I have to. The sooner I get this over with, the sooner I can go back to the hotel. Here's goes nothing. He rapped sharply on the door. 

   

  Nothing happened and he glanced round at Don. The man made a knocking motion with his hand and Emilio knocked again. almost immediately, the door swung open and Emilio found himself staring at a young version of his mother. She wore a frilled Spanish skirt and red dance shoes, and her hair was piled up on top and pinned with a mantilla comb. Little Maria? His little playmate? How could he have forgotten her?
