Thank you Greg! Will check your code tomorrow.

fumei, I understand your point, but this is a client's request... Later on, it may be a suggestion indeed to transfer those comments as real Word comments through the macro (but probably never commenting/highlighting manually directly in Word). There are a few good reasons to do it this way, but I don't think there is any need for me to explain them, as it would be totally off-topic here. Point is, I need to find a solution, and gmaxey seems to be guiding me on the right track... Plus, I like challenges! ;-)
