Default Conditional format one word in a sentence

Hello
Is there a way to Conditional format specific words "names" on a sentence on the same cell without highligting the whole cell?

for example Bob Smith, Jack Taylor, Kevin Jackson, Tammy Taylor

Say if I have a list with Jack Taylor and Bob Smith
Would I be able to conditional format based on my list? so highlight just
Jack and Bob and not the rest of the names on the same cell?


Thank you

you connot highlight a part of a cell. But with a macro you can change
the font color for the expected names.
Have a look:

You must download the workbook because macros are disabled in OneDrive.

Question Clause, I know on the Module it has "With the range (A1)
How about if I have more rows that I need to search? can I just add A1:A3 For example? so it can search more lines?

Hi Jaime, Aside from conditional formatting, here is a way using Characters inside a Sub:
