Do you guys know if its possible to click an internal word hyperlink that would highlight specific text in MS Word. I'm using MS Word 2013

You could make the text the display text of a macrobutton field and use that to run a macro to highlight the bookmarked text. Format the field with the Hyperlink character style

{ MACROBUTTON MacroName Highlight the linked text }

Code:

Sub MacroName()
         ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("bmLink").Range.Select
End Sub

Otherwise the normal behaviour for a hyperlink is to go to the linked text. If that works for you, bookmark the text and create a link to that bookmark name. Clicking the link takes you to the start of the bookmarked text.
