How do I remove highlighted text within a document

[TypingNut]

I need to highlight specific text and then I need to take it back off before
I send it. I need to know the best way to do this. Basically I am copying
the highlighted text (or all my documents) for billing my client by the lines
we type only as they send us templates on their notes. Then I have to
unhighlight it to send the finished product back to them. I tried using
Tools and Options in Word but it only hides the highlighting but will print
the highlighted text out in gray. I was told to go through a macro to do
this but I need to know the best and quickest way to do this. Thanks!!

You can do this with Find and Replace:

1. Press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.

2. Click the More button to display the bottom of the dialog.

3. With the insertion point in the (empty) "Find what" box, click on Format
and select Highlight. You'll see "Format: Highlight" under the box.

4. With the insertion point in the (empty) "Replace with" box, click on
Format and select Highlight; then do it again. You'll see "Format: Not
Highlight" under the box.

5. Replace All.
