select all highlighted text?

Guest
I'm going through a Word document and highlighting part of the texts which I
want to keep. Is there any way to only select the highlighted text? I'm
using Word 2003. Thanks a lot in advance.

In the Find dialog, check the box for "Highlight all items found." Then
click More to expand the dialog and click Format; select Highlight. Click
Find All. With the Find dialog still open, click the title bar of the
document (to return focus to the document window without deselecting the
text) and press Ctrl+C to copy the selected text. Paste the text into a new
document.

hi, didn't actually get the explanatition but found a different way:
CTRL+F -> then go to the "replace" tab!
then "more"
then "format"
then "highlight" once for selecting with highlight and then again for selecting all text WITHOUT HIGHLIGHTS
don't write anything in the "find what"
"write" a space in the "replace".
Hit replace.

You'll get a document with only the highlighted text.

MAKE SURE NOT TO SAVE unless you don't need the rest of the text ever again!
