That's what I thought, but I couldn't be 100% sure and figured it was worth
including the other information for good measure. Although users have long
referred to text selection as "highlighting," I think it was a bad idea for
Word's designers to yield to this usage given that the term is reserved for
another function in Word.

The first one was the problem. The Replace fixes it. I suspect the reason
it wasn't printing is because it really wasn't there since Replace wasn't
used.

Thanks,
Megan

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.
