Need some quick help with Word. - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I have a rather large body of text in which I need to underline a particular word. For example, I need to highlight the word "here". Is there an option in Word that would let me highlight every "here" in text at once? Thanks.

logan,

do a find and replace on 'here', and replace it with 'here'. should do the trick.

Alright, let me try.

EDIT: Great, it worked. Many thanks.
