Need to find text in a document, highlight and count them.
I am in need of software or Add-in for the following task:
With a document open in Word, I need to find several words or keywords. Then highlight all of the found words. I know I can do this in Word with the Find command. However, as soon I click in the document they disappear. Finally, it needs to count each term searched for and display those counts. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks, Con |

One way is to use Find to locate all occurrences as you have been, but then
use the Highlight button on the Formatting toolbar _before_ attempting to edit the doc. I'm sure there are a number of other options as well, depending on excactly what your purpose is.

Thank you for the response and was helpful as I didn't think of using the
Highlighter on the formatting toolbar. However, I am still looking for software or an add-in which will allow me to find several terms or keywords at the same time, highlight them and then give me a count of how many of each there are in the document. A few months ago I accidentally run in to a site which just had such a program but for the life of me I can't find it again. So, there are software out there which can accomplish what I want to do.
