I tried this on a very short passage, and the Replace operation took quite a
long time, leaving the highlighted sections followed by hundreds of spaces
extending out beyond the margin. If I instead leave the "Find what" box
blank (no need to use wildcards) and replace with a space, then all the
highlighted text remains, each chunk separated from the next by a space. I
had highlighted single words, but if there are paragraphs highlighted, you
might want to use ^p instead of a space to separate them. I found that that
worked better when I had highlighted paragraphs or parts of paragraphs.

Eric,

You can use EditReplace to make something work for you.

Save a copy of your document first!!!

For example if you only want to display and print highligthed text and
maintain the spacial relationship between text, you could use the
following
method.

EditReplaceMoreUse Wildcards.

Click the FormatHighlight button
Click the FormatHightlight button again.

Below the find what field you should see "not highlight"

Type a * in the find what field

Type a single space in the Replace with field.

Click replace all.


You can use the undo button (or CTRL+z) to restore the changes.

Hi,

I am reviewing a 150 point document and am highlighting the key points.
I
would like at the end of it to display and print just the highlighted
text
component ie, hide the unhighlighted bits.

I have tried to use the autosummarise function, but it doesn't only me
to
select a display just highlighted text.

I am using Word 2000, please help or let me know another approach.

Thanks

Eric.
