    Find and highlight words from two tables of text

    Hi,

    I am looking to find a way to find and highlight a list of words that occur in a series of text.

    Example, Row 1 contains a series of words i am looking for

    BIRD DOG CAT HORSE

    And below is a column of various sentences.

    I need excel to automatically highlight the words DOG if one or more of the sentences below it contains that word.

    I don't mind if the word is also highlighted in the text below as well.
