Is there a way of highlighting text in Word ONLY for viewing purposes, not
for the highlight to show up when it's printed?

Not sure, but here is a simple macro we use (and assign to a toolbar button)
to toggle highlighting on and off to allow people to print without it being
the

Sub ToggleHL()
With ActiveWindow.View
If .ShowHighlight = False Then
.ShowHighlight = True
Else
.ShowHighlight = False
End If
End With
End Sub
