Keyboard command to remove text highlighted with the highlighterp
There isn't a built-in keyboard shortcut for this, but you can
create a macro to remove the highlight from selected text, and assign the macro to the keyboard shortcut of your choice. The macro might look like: Sub DeleteHighlightMacro() Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdNoHighlight End Sub See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...eateAMacro.htm for more information.

wrote: Does such a keyboard command exist? Thanks, Sharon No, there is no single keyboard command. You have to use the Replace dialog. In the dialog, click the More button. Click in the Find What box. Click the Format button and select Highlight from the menu that appears. Then click the Replace All button. You can record this operation and assign the resulting macro to a keyboard shortcut.

Keyboard command to remove text highlighted with the highlight
Thanks Jay, That's the procedure I've been using but I was really hoping there might be a buried "Select All" plus keyboard manipulation. Guess there's a good reason why not.

Thanks for that info. I'd searched *everywhere* for the keyboard shortcut so that solves that little problem. Your response much appreciated.

Keyboard command to remove text highlighted with the highlight
There is a sort of Select All. In the Find dialog (not in Replace), there's
a check box for "Highlight all items found." Using this, you can search for highlighted text and, for example, change the color of the highlight (which you *can't* do with the Replace dialog). -- Suzanne S.
