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 naviÂgate to a matching page, clicking this button adds a yellow highlight to all the instances of the search text that appear 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:
1. Choose Home, Find to display the Find tab of the Find and Replace dialog box.
2. Type the text you want to highlight in the Find What text box.
3. 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 highÂlighted, as shown in Figure 1.
4. To clear the highlights, click Reading Highlight and then click Clear Highlighting.

Use Word’s new Reading Highlight feature to apply a highlight to each instance of the text in the Find What box.
