Default Search for strings listed in column - Excel 2007

Hello:

Here's what I'm trying to do:

1.) Create a workbook (WB1) with a list of words in A1 - A50.
2.) Open up another workbook (WB2) that already has existing data. This
workbook gets sent to me everyday with new data.
3.) Run a macro to search and for all words in WB2 that are on the list in
WB1. For each word listed in WB2, I want to change the text of the cell to
red and bold with a thick red border.

Right now I have something that does something like this, but I have the
macro in PERSONAL.XLSB and the list of search strings are hardcoded in the
macro. To make it more user friendly, I'd like to have the search string in
a column so that updates to the strings can be made without modifying the
macro itself.

Please direct me to any sample code to do this. I've been searching but I
don't know the correct terms to search for, so I'm not getting any relevant
results.

Thank you.
