I'll try again :3

Here's what I'm asking: When I Ctrl+F to highlight every instance of the word 'Office' for example. I was wondering. If there is a program. That has the option to also highlight the words around each 'Office' it finds. The sentence it's in, or the paragraph that its in. It'll highlight all of them.

The specification is Office. And, the option to 'grab everything around each Office in the entire document.' Again, like a bunch of triple clicks all at once, targeting our specified word.

So after doing this, you'd have not just every instance of 'Office' highlighted, but the entire sentences and paragraphs that have Office in them would be highlighted. Nothing else; if it's a sentence or paragraph that doesn't have Office, it doesn't get highlighted

If MSWord can't do this, that's cool. I was just curious if anyone knew of other options. Or if its just the way it is, I'd like to know if there's simply no way any program could do this. Which I hope isn't the case, because this feature would save me so much time <3
