Find & Replace in Word 2003

[Guest]

Hi

Can someone tell me how to search for a particular word and have each
occurrence of the word highlighted with the highlighter tool?

I just did it by accident and it struck me as a really useful function. But
I don't know what I did so I can't repeat it!

Jackie,

I am using Word2000 right now, but this method should work in 2003 as
well.

Edit>Replace>More

Type the word you want to hightlight in the find what field.

Type ^& in the replace with field. With the cursor still in that
field, click format>highlight, then replace all
