Hi Prashant

I made a simple sample for your requrest and attached file.

Attached sample include adding custom menu, matching text and changing text color.

- ptc_init.acl : copy into '/Arbortext Editor/custom/init' folder

- ptc_menu.acl and ptc_check_word.acl : copy into '/Arbortext Editor/custom/scripts' folder

- Sample Topic.dita : sample document

After copy files, relaunching Arbortext Editor.

So you can see new menu of 'Custom Menu'.

There are two considerations.

1) I don't understand that you want to find non-matching word not matching word.

    So I was considering case of matching word.

2) When publishing, Touchup is prior to stylesheet. So Touchup style is applied Publishing Output.

   If you want to only checking in Arbortext Editor you should remove Touchup PI before Publishing.

Hope that helps,

Kim, Joon O

Hi Prashant,

This sound like a Compare process.  Is the compare utility in the Editor not what  you are looking for?

How would your process differ?

What is the nature of the 'data coming from some service'?  XML fille?

Hi Prashant

If you want to change color of non matching words you should use 'Touchup'.

Touchup is PI and provide user-dfine style without stylesheet.

To use Touchup PI, choose 'Format > Touchup > Font'.

By use touchup as follow :

<p><?Pub _font FontColor="red"?>non matching words<?Pub /_font?> ....</p>

After you find non matching words, you should insert 'Touchup' PI using ACL.

Hope that helps.
