How to find the "highlighted text" by "track change" feature

I'd like to replace the "highlighted text" by "track change" feature by using "find" feature, as like the other text by normal highlight feature.
Sometimes, I'd like to change color of the modified text to different color, red, for to notice different reader easily recognizing the changed point. If I can use track change feature with find&replace, I don't need to remember the changed text points.
Is there anyone know how to do this?
I think if it can be we can search also comment including text, which is highlighted one.

Hi Kosaka- something like this is not possible with the normal Find/Replace dialog. There's no way to only match text that is a tracked change or comment.
However, you could accomplish your goal using a macro. I'm attaching such a macro that highlights all tracked changes using a red color. If you wanted to do something different, it wouldn't be too hard to edit the macro as needed.

I'm not sure I understand exactly. What did you have in mind for comments?

Thank you martin! This macro works well that I thought.
I believe that macro feature can do it like you showed me!
But, I did not try to make it.
I wanna know how to do this in find feature of NWP.
NWP's macro feature is so powerful.
I'm not still used to "NWP macro language".
I'll start to use it more deeply. (I can use ruby partially)
I'm not sure I understand exactly. What did you have in mind for comments?
My point is if we can find out highlighted text by "track changes" then we can find out highlighted text by "comments".
I'll try to make macro on highlighted text by comments as your macro.
Anyway, this macro code is very helpful for me.

Yes that's true- a macro can visit all text with comments applied in a similar way. I'll attach a macro that makes commented text red. Hope it helps.
