Here's a possible workaround:
1. Create a copy of the document (though you can Undo everything that comes
next if you want to, making a copy is safer).
2. Press Ctrl+H to open the Find and Replace dialog.
3. Click the More button to expand the dialog.
4. With the insertion point in the "Find what" box, click Format |
Highlight. You'll see "Format: Highlight" under the box.
5. Click Format | Highlight again. You'll now see "Format: Not Highlight."
6. With the insertion point in the "Replace with" box, press Ctrl+Shift+H.
You'll see "Format: Hidden" for that box.
7. Replace all. This will hide all the text that is not highlighted.
8. Making sure that "Hidden text" is *not* checked on the Print tab of Tools
| Options, print the document.
If you want the highlighted text to print in position rather than
continuously, you can use Font Color: White instead of Hidden formatting.
Note that this will not affect any floating graphics you have in the
document, but it should take care of inline graphics.

I want to only print the highlighted text from a long document and nothing
in between the highlighted lines. Does anyone know of a macor to do this.
Something that will automatically select the next sentence that is
highlighted, move to the end of that section of highlighted text and then go
to the next section and so on and then print it all?
