I am using Word 2002. I have been highlighting text from
a document and now I want to select all the highlighted
text and copy it to a new document. When I try to use
select all text with same formatting I am unable to
select just the highlighted text. How do I do this? I can
do this with the find funtion, but this just selects one
sentence at a time and is too tedious for what I need to
do.

In the Find dialog, you can check the box for "Highlight all items found in"
and then select the portion of the document you want to search. Search for
the desired formatting (Highlight), and it will all be selected. You can
then Copy/Paste into a new document.
