Search for highlighted text

[Paul]

I'm using Word 2003 in Windows XP. Is there a way to search for text
that has been highlighted with various colours? Highlighting doesn't
seem to be a character formatting attribute.

In the Find dialog, click More to expand the dialog, then Format |
Highlight. This will find all highlighting, regardless of color. If the
"highlighting" has been applied as text shading, you'll have to use a
different approach.

Works like a charm. Thank you, Suzanne.
