Default How do I find a name in a list of names?

I need to check if certain names from a list are in another list for
comparison. If the names are found in the search I need them to be
highlighted or flagged somehow??

Example

A B
1Henry, John 1Joe, Joe
2Kitty, Cat 2Chris, Chris
3Henry, John

Thanks for your help!!=)

Look in the help menu for VLOOKUP() or MATCH(). This will do what you are
looking for.
