I don't see the Find All function in the Find dialog in Word 2007, Beth.
Where are you seeing it? Keep in mind that in Word 2003, there is a check
box for "Highlight all items found in" [whatever is selected]. When that box
is checked, the Find Next button changes to Find All.

The "Reading Highlight" command in the Find dialog box is new in Word
2007. It uses a yellow highlight, or last Highlight color selected, to
identify the found text. Of course it's still a bit confusing since, as
noted, it doesn't print and is removed if you edit the document.
The "Find All" functionality, which selects the text, is still available
and works similar to previous versions. The difference is the scope of the
Find can now be set to Text Boxes, Headers and Footers, and Comments if
the elements are present in the document.

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.

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.
