Okay, I have two tables of contents in two separate files.  A few of the
entries in them may be repeats.  I need to, from one of the files, run a
macro that will look through every entry of that file's TOC, then compare
each to the TOC of the other file (preference would be a dialogue way to
point to the other file to use, but could also type into a dialogue, and
worst case, can go into the macro and type in the path for each use...but
would prefer to avoid having to go into macros, as others might be asked to
use this who are less proficient), and finally highlight on the original file
any that are found in the other file.  Matches would be exact matches for the
entire string except page numbers on each file would be different.

Thx for any code assistance.

I believe your request is beyond the scope of casual help available in
this newsgroup.

Would Word's builtin Compare help?

Tools->Track Changes->Compare

To others: Are there 3rd party packages that do this?

Dave, I've never been let down by this group, nor the Excel group.  I have
gotten complicated answers many times before.  There should not be a need for
third party software, and I am guessing something this specific is not
addressed in off-the-shelf stuff.

Anyone who knows how to VB?  Anyone?

Thx.
