Find and highlight formatting - issue with big documents

[rook]

Dear Greg, this is perfect, thank you! I can't tell you how much time I have spent trying to figure this out... and you made it look so elegant and easy! THANK YOU, and thank you for all the follow-ups!!!

Hi guys... me again Do you have any advice on how to make the macro search through the "text frames" (drawing objects)? Further testing showed that I get error when text is in the frame - I either get: "The HighlightColorIndex method or property is not available because the object refers to the drawing object". In other cases I don't get this error, but the text in the frame doesn't get highlighted.

I tried adding wdTextFrameStory (5) but it didn't help.

[Edit - ignoring text frames is also a possibility, just so it wouldn't stop the macro]

Any tip will be appreciated!
