Default Word 2007 SP1, highlighting disappears

I think you're confusing two uses of the word "highlight." In Word 2003, as
in Word 2007, using Find All (Highlight All) merely selects the found text.
If you want to apply a highlight, you have to use the Replace function to
find text and apply highlighting through Format | Highlight. The currently
selected highlight color will be used.

If you have actually applied highlighting to the text, it will be printed or
not depending on whether or not it's actually displayed on the page, which
depends on a display option. In Word 2007, this is Office Button | Word
Options | Display: Show highlighter marks.

In Word 2007, choose Ctrl+F, type in your search, click Highlight All.
This much works. However, as soon as you continue to type to add more to
the document, all of the highlighting that was just created above
disappears. Also, if you don't type but choose Print to try to print the
highlighting, the highlighting doesn't print. This didn't happen in Word
2003.
