Default Highlight text and find next instance

I remember doing this in past versions but can't seem to find how to do in Word '07.

I used to search for a string of text. Move to the end of that text. CR to create new line. Search for same string again but when it is found, highlight the text in between and delete ALL that text. I would then have a continuous column of the same text.

Result Example:
Text1 (highlight and delete from this point to next string)
Text1 (highlight and delete from this point to next string)
Text1 (highlight and delete from this point to next string)
etc.

So a how to repeating a macro and highlighting during a search/find would be helpful.
Thanks! Hope this makes sense.
