Highlighting text in a Word document is a great way to draw users’ attention to important sections. If you use highlighting for such purposes, you should let your users know that there is an easy way for them to quickly locate highlighted text. Instead of scrolling through the document, they can use the Find feature.

To locate highlighted text using Word’s Find feature:

1. From the Edit menu, click Find.

2. Click the More button.
3. Click the Format button.
4. Select Highlight from the drop down menu.
5. Click the Find Next button.

Repeat step 5 until you have reviewed all the highlighted text in the document. Once you are finished, click the No Formatting button and click Cancel to close the Find and Replace window.
