Of course, if you have a small set of words, you could do a search like:

Code:
\b(these|words|are|the|ones|I|want|to|mark|so|that|they|are|noticeable|when|reading)\b
And the replace would be:
Code:
<mark>\1</mark>
It is a bit clumsy, but, you can make a fairly long search and save it for reuse. But, you don't want to run that twice on the same book. It will wrap the words in a second set of tags. Remove them first.

And for the record, the book I had opened for editing when I wrote this had 6515 changes when I did the above. I suspect that using "the" was a bad idea
