If you’ve used the Google toolbar when browsing the web, you may have tried one of its most useful research features : the Highlight button. After you perform a search and navigate to a matching page, clicking this button adds a yellow highlight to all the instances of the search text that apeear in the page. It’s a great way to see exactly where the information you want resides within a page, how often it appears, and so on.
A similar feature is now part of Word 2007. It’s called Reading Highlight, and it’s part of the Find feature. Here’s how you use it :
- Choose Home, Find to display the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
- Type the text you want to highlight in the Find What text box.
- Click Reading Highlight and then click Highlight All. Word applies a highlight to every instance of the text in the document and tells you the number of items it highlighted, as shown in Figure.
- To clear the highlights, click Reading Highlight and then click Clear Highlighting.
Tip : To control the color of the highlight, choose the Home tab and then click a color in the Text Highlight Color palette.
