Can I search for text highlighted in a specific color?
I am trying to search (using Find) for text highlighted in a specific color,
rather than searching for all highlighted text. The Find function does not seem to distinguish between different highlight colors. I have a document, in which I would like to select only the text highlighted in yellow. Is there another way to do this? Thanks |

Is there another way to do this? Thanks Hi Annett, It can be done, but only with a macro. See this post for an example: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...2599f992?hl=en The idea is to find text with any highlight color, and then check it to see whether it's the color you want. If not, it continues searching for the next highlight. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Can I search for text highlighted in a specific color?
I just posted a similar request. In looking at the site you recommend, the
solution seems incomplete. Can you verify and post the complete solution? -- Alan "Jay Freedman" wrote: Annett wrote: I am trying to search (using Find) for text highlighted in a specific color, rather than searching for all highlighted text.

After you posted here, Greg Maxey answered your request in the vba.general
newsgroup. If you can't find it in the Microsoft web site, it's on Google Groups at http://groups.google.com/group/micro...b4e12adb7 b6c. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. adgorn wrote: I just posted a similar request.

Can I search for text highlighted in a specific color?
Thank-you very much for that code - it is excellent! I too needed a macro for
changing specific highlights and this was perfect. The only thing that the macro did not change were spaces, punctuation etc contained within the highlighted text Al "Jay Freedman" wrote: Annett wrote: I am trying to search (using Find) for text highlighted in a specific color, rather than searching for all highlighted text.
