Hello,
My question may seem silly, but I can't find any answers.
So, imagine a text: "blabla, bear, horse......octopus"
This text can be on a web page or in a text file, it doesn't matter.
I would like all the words "bear" and "horse" to be highlighted.
Is it possible?
It's a bit like what search engines do.
Thank you for your help
Configuration: Windows Vista / Firefox 3.6.15

Good evening,
"This text can be on a web page or in a text file, it doesn't matter."
Actually, it does matter!!!
It depends on the software used... In Word, it won't be the same as on a website.
So, you need to be more precise, knowing that you are in the forum for office software here...

It depends on the version.
With 2010, you simply display the Search pane. Just type the word to search and you see all of them in the pane; you just need to click on them to bring up the pages of the document.
With other versions, you need to use the Find dialog (Ctrl+F). In 2007, choose "Highlight All."
Generally speaking, in software and browsers, the same keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F is used for searches.

Yes, indeed, I think I did not explain well what I would like to obtain.
Let's imagine the following text: "The cat ate the mouse. The cat jumped. The cat is sleeping."
I would like to be able to search for several words at the same time. For example, cat and mouse and get "The cat ate the mouse. The cat jumped. The cat is sleeping."
Thank you
P.S.: Word 2010
