Highlighting the results from "find" command
I repeatedly use the find command to find overused words in text. I have had
inconsistent saves in 2003 and 2007 editions of Word. I had some success in 2003 when i would use the highlite feature and then just saved the whole document. It worked sometimes. I was excited to see a new "reading highlight" option in 2007. I was dissappointed when I used the feature, had all the desired repititious words highlighted on screen and then saved the whole document because when I returned to the document none of the words were highlighted. I have read other users issues about changes not adhering, though their problems seemed to be more for original styles and formatting. I thought I may be using the application inncorrectly. Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appeaciated, since I would use this feature daily. It would be a wonderful addition to the editing tab, I actually think the find, replace and go to should be included in the editing tab. Even though cntrl+f works great, I think those 3 editing tools would be appropriately placed in the editing menu also, even if only as a duplicate. |
