Look up Find, SelStart and SelLength and SelColor in the RichText Help files.
Find returns the starting location of the If statement. SelStart takes the value of find and SelLength takes the length of the item to highlight, in this Case 2. Then use SelColor to set the colour. Repeat as many times as necessary.
