highlight content question

[cruisedk]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how i can highlight content in a document. I have a list of words i want to highlight in a document, but the list is fairly long and i want to avoid doing this word by word.

Is there anyway i can get Word to find and highlight my custom list of words?

Thanks for your help boys and girls

It's simple. First, select your highlight color.

Next, go Edit --> Replace.

Enter the text you want to highlight in the find what.

In replace with, enter the text again and then click on more. click on format. select highlight.

Thank you Spacesurfer.

however i have a list of many words i need to highlight at once. is it possible to do that. the way you describe i can only highlight one word at the time, am i right.

Thank you for your time

record a macro using a fake word. then edit the macro and make as many copies of the script as there are words you need to replace. Then change each case of the fake word with the word you need.

Then run the macro and it will go though all of the words and highlight them.
