I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do it, but this worked for me.

Hey Elroy,

What web browser?

Is the magazine available for testing?

As you can see from @Ben_Mattison's post the pause part is pretty easy.

I have a set of keywords that I want to look for. @Ben_Mattison way if good but if there is another way, It would be good.

I would like to have to then keyowrds saved in a excel sheet and pick the words from there.

Hey Elroy,

Thanks for the test mag, but more info is needed:

A) You didn't say what web browser.

B) Please provide a zipped Excel worksheet example.
       - Drag it to the forum editor, and it will be uploaded.
