I was confused by this as well until Beth Melton beat me over the head with
it and explained that if you click "Find in" (instead of Find Next) and
select "Main Document" or whatever, you get the same functionality as
"Highlight all items found in..." All items are found and selected just as
before. I still think Find All was clearer.

Welcome back, Suzanne!
Unfortunately, W2007 adds a "reading" highlight that is somehow different
from regular highlighting and does not select the items. Bummer. I've
been
meaning to ask why they did this.

If you have Word 2003 or 2007, there is an option to "Highlight [i.e.,
select] all items found" (the terminology is slightly different in 2007);
while they are selected, you can restore focus to the document by clicking
on the title bar, then Ctrl+C, open a new document and Ctrl+V. The search
string, using wildcards, could be as simple as (*).
Hi,
Is it possible for word to search for words in brackets e.g. (Witz,
1999)

Thanks in advance
