Default highlight dups in one of two columns

I have words in column A and B. I'd like to use conditional formating to
highlight just those words in A that also occur in B. The following is
close, but I believe gives a mirror image of what I want. Appreciate any
help. Thanks.

1. Select column B (click the letter B)
2. Choose Format Conditional formatting
3. In ""Condition 1"" choose ""Formula is"""
4. Enter this formula =(COUNTIF($A:$A,B1)=0)*(B1<"")
5. Click the ""Formats"" button and take your pick. OK.OK.
