Linked Word/Excel: Want to Highlight all linked text

Greetings,

I have a Word document that has about 140 sections linked to Excel.  I want to be able to highlight all 140 places quickly (they are generally a few words or numbers long).  How can I highlight all linked sections quickly and easily?

Thanks!

Answer
Answer
Go to File|Options|Advanced>Show Document Content> Field Shading and choose the 'Always' option. That will shade all fields (not just the Excel links), thus shading any in-line links, but not links that are formatted as worksheets and have, say, 'square' text wrapping applied. Those should be fairly obvious, though.
