Is this even possible: extrapolating highlighted words

[angiesnow]

Hi everyone,

I've been trying to find out Online whether or not Word has this capability, perhaps I'm not wording it right because I can't seem to find anything. If anyone knows, you guys will! Here's my situation:

I am using Word to write pages and pages of notes for my coursework. I am constantly highlighting certain key terms and phrases that I need to study and/or memorize later. Is there any way I could somehow command Word to extrapolate from my notes only the words that are highlighted (or marked in some way)? that way I could quickly create a list of just those words/terms that I need to study. For example, if I bold those words, can I later command Word to take all words that are bold and copy them to the clipboard or something like that so that I can paste them somewhere else? What do you guys think?

Thanks!
