Highlighting found words in Word 2007
I use the find all and highlight function a lot for an ongoing project I'm
working on and we're switching to Word 2007 and I can't seem to find the same function. I find all and highlight the word entries, but I can't make the highlighting stick like it does in 2003. Any suggestions? -- Steve Carr Mission Consulting Sacramento, CA |

Highlighting found words in Word 2007
You can use the Replace tab of the Find and Replace dialog box to actually
apply highlighting to the word you searched for. Click More to see all options in the dialog box. In "Find what," type the word that you want to find. Type ^& in the "Replace with" box. With the insertion point still in the "Replace with" box, click the Format button, and select Highlight. Click Replace All. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "carsteve" wrote in message ...
