Search and Highlight (Permanently) in Microsoft Word

You want to be productive - you have a phrase (or word) that appears multiple times in your doc, and you want to highlight all occurrences.

CTRL-h : launches the Find and Replace dialog

Click on More to get to more options to allow you to specify what format to use for the replacement.


Fill in the fields - unfortunately, Word hasn't heard of NEdit or vi and you can't even do simple things like regex and replace-with-portion-of-match, etc..


Click on Replace All and then, enjoy!!
