I would like to do a search in my word document to find a particular item in
various tables, and highlight it. However, I have to do this for a number of
items and so wish to change the Highlight colour in the format part of the
Find and Replace function. Is this possible and if so how?

Thanks.

The highlight color applied via the Find and Replace dialog box is the color
currently selected in the Highlight icon in the Formatting toolbar (in case
of Word 2007, the icon is found in Home tab Font group).

Therefore, you only need to change the color via the icon between each
search and replace.
