Hi XGP,
Potentially very difficult but if all other text in the document is
uncoloured you could do it with three Find and Replace operations like this
...
In all cases leave the Find and Replace text boxes blank.
1. (a) Click in the Find box, click on Format > Font and select Text Colour
"Automatic"
1. (b) Click in the Replace box, click on Format > Font and check "Hidden"
(or some other attribute that no other text in the document has)
1. (c) Replace All
2. (a) Click in the Find box, click on "No Formatting" then click on Format
> Font and UNcheck "Hidden" (or whichever attribute you chose in the
previous operation)
2. (b) Click in the Replace box, click on "No Formatting" then click on
Format > Font and select Text Colour Red
2. (c) Replace All
3. (a) Click in the Find box, click on "No Formatting" then click on Format
> Font and check "Hidden" (or whichever attribute you chose in the first
operation)
3. (b) Click in the Replace box, click on "No Formatting" then click on
Format > Font and UNcheck "Hidden" (or whichever attribute you chose in the
first operation)
3. (c) Replace All

Hi Tony,
Very smart and simple solution. It worked. I will now try to write the macro.
Thanks.
