Hi Brenda,
In Word 2003, press Control-F. After the find dialog is open, Tab until you get to the More button and press Enter. This will make more options available to you. You can Tab through the various options, and one of them is a Format button. Pressing Enter on this button will reveal a list that you can use your Up or Down Arrow keys to navigate. Arrow to Font, and press Enter. This is just like the font dialog box. Tab around the dialog and set your options to whatever you are looking for, such as underlined text, the color of the text, etc. Press Enter on the OK button. Leave the find edit box blank, press Enter, and Word should find any text with those attributes. This will also work in Word 2007, but if you are using Word 2010, then you need to use the Advanced Find feature in the Home tab. If you can educate the creator of the document to use Track Changes as well as Comments, this would make your life even easier.

I have format alert and attribute changes set to ON, BUT I must review a document line by line in order to find the corrections to my work. I tried a CNTRL-SHIFT-F Window Eyes search but you have to search for a specific word using that function. I also have Chip's MS Word script running (I think). How can I search for any text that is red, bold or underlined or any single attribute in order to quickly find corrected work?
