Another Tracked Changes question - highlight

profen4 · Feb 21, 2012

I've seen documents marked up, so I know it's possible, but how do you search for a specific word, and then highlight every instance of it. Do you know what I mean? So if I wanted to see if I've overused the word "nodded" I can have every instance in the document highlighted and then scroll through the text and they pop out at you.

I've been trying to figure it out for freaking months!

In MS Word?

MS Word 2010 (what I use) does this. Press the "old" keyboard shortcut to bring up the FIND dialog box (ALT+E, then F), there's a button for "Reading Highlight." Click the button and "Highlight All" the highlighting happens for all atches, and the dialog will even tell you how many instances it finds.

One catch: it's a text pattern find. For example, I have instances of "love" and "lover" in my work. Finding and highlighting "love" hit on both words (and, it turns out, beloved).

If you click the "More" button, you can check the box for "Find Whole Words Only," and it will only find actual instances of "love" and not "lover," "beloved," "glove," etc.
