"Here's a versatile text indexing utility for Microsoft Word that enables you to find, highlight, and extract text—quick as a flash. Mark-A-Text magic is housed in a small, dockable toolbar.  Just launch the search menu, type & click.  You can highlight words and phrases in various colors and generate reports listing each instance plus the page on which it appears.  You can search for specific colors and/or change them on the fly.  Highlight just the search term or the sentence or paragraph in which it appears.  A great research tool that will save hours of crawling through documents and plucking out gems.  Students, scholars, and word fiends rejoice!" - Dingbat Magazine, August 2001
