@Toxaris - Maybe this is already possible, if so can you tell me how.

I would like to have a tool similar to S&R (or part of S&R) which instead of substituting 'Search' strings with 'Replace' strings would simply place a 'mark' before the string - the 'mark' would be specified in Settings - eg I might use [check this]. Table rows would be something like this

Code:
<Mark>
    <Wildcards>false</Wildcards>
    <CaseSensitive>false</CaseSensitive>
    <WholeWord>true</WholeWord>
    <Search>trail</Search>
<\Mark>

<Mark>
    <Wildcards>false</Wildcards>
    <CaseSensitive>false</CaseSensitive>
    <WholeWord>true</WholeWord>
    <Search>trial</Search>
<\Mark>
After running the Mark tool user would then do a regular Find for the 'mark' - e.g. [check this].

I appreciate what the Permissions flag does and I use it to good effect. But sometimes I need to listen to a podcast to make a decision as to whether the speaker said 'trail' or 'trial', other times I need to open another document to make a decision. I don't like leaving modal dialogues 'hanging in the balance' for long periods whilst I'm doing something else. And at other times I'd like to process the 'ambiguities' over an extended period - e.g. 'I'll finish that after lunch'

BR
