Default Trouble highlighting all instances of superscript text

Hi everyone.



My apologies for the newbie question. I would like to highlight all instances of superscript text in a Word document. I have got as far as the following code but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any tips on what I am missing here?

Many thanks!

Code:
    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.Highlight = True
    Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
    Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
    With Selection.Find
      .Font.Superscript = 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

One wonders why you'd record a macro for such a simple thing. That said, try:
Code:
Sub Demo()
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
With ActiveDocument.Range.Find
  .ClearFormatting
  .Replacement.Highlight = True
  .Font.Superscript = True
  .Replacement.Text = "^&"
  .Forward = True
  .Wrap = wdFindContinue
  .Format = True
  .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub

Hi macropod,

Many thanks. That works and is a lot simpler than other snippets of code I have found online. I need to highlight a number of particular characters that have different styling/fonts, and I think I can now use your code to chain together a search for these. So thanks again; that's very helpful.
