Default Help with a macro

I wrote this macro to find all the hidden text in a document, and replace it with nothing (delete it). The problem is, it is doing the EXACT OPPOSITE. It is finding all the NOT hidden text and deleting it. After I run the macro, if I click on "Edit-Replace" it says "Not Hidden" in the find window. It should just say "Hidden." What am I doing wrong?

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = ""
.Font.Hidden = True
.Replacement.Text = ""


.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

Try this before you run the Selection.Find:

ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True

BTW, I tried your code as-is and it merely failed; it didn't remove un-hidden text.

This works for me:
Code:
Sub Demo()
With ActiveDocument.Content.Find
  .ClearFormatting
  .Replacement.ClearFormatting
  .Text = ""
  .Replacement.Text = ""
  .Format = True
  .Font.Hidden = True
  .Forward = True
  .Wrap = wdFindContinue
  .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub
PS: When posting code, please use the code tags. They're on the 'Go Advanced' tab.
