Format words in a memo if they are found in a table

I'm much more of an systems admin than a developer so forgive my ignorance.

In a multi-paragraph memo field, I want it to turn red every word that is found in a table containing sensitive buzzwords.

I'm trying to find a way in VisualBasic to parse through each word in a memo field and change the color of just that word if it is found in a table. Is there some sort of way to do a for loop through the memo and have it reformat it so that the good words are the same but the buzzwords are turned red?

I hope I've explained this well enough. Any ideas that would get me close would really help.

There is no known way that I am aware of.
