Default Comparing 2 sheets

I have combined two files into one file. I used copy/paste to enter the
contents of file 2 into a new sheet on the original file. I now have a single
file which contains 2 sheets. Let's name the sheets: Source (smaller) and
Original (larger).

Now, I want to use column A containing 419 rows of the Source sheet to search
column A containing 4,763 rows of the Original sheet and highlight the ones
that matching names.

Example: "ABC Industries" is found in column A on both sheets - but in
different rows. On the source sheet, it is in row 5. On the original sheet,
it is in row 20.

I want to use the source sheet "ABC Industries" in row 5 to highlight the
"ABC Industries" in row 20 on the original (as it is a match). However, I
want automate the process of looking at all 419 names in the source sheet to
highlight the matches found in the original sheet.

How can I do this?
