Highlighting all the "Find what" items in Word 2000

[Guest]

Hi

Word 2003 has the feature of highlighting all items in "Find and Replace".
Is it possible to have something similar for Word 2000?

No, that feature was introduced much later (not sure if it was in 2002).

If you aren't trying to select them all to format them, but just want to see
where they are, download the finder.dot template from
http://jay-freedman.info.

Thanks Jay. That template can be very useful when looking for terms. But I
currently need something that looks for text with certain format.

Thanks again

You can use the replace function to find formatted items, but it will not
select them all at once. What would you want to do with them once found?

Thanks Graham. I only wanted to highlight the items, see them standing out in
their context. No need to have them selected as Word 2003 does. Using
"Highlight" in the Format list for the 'Replace with' field did the job.
Thanks again.
