I am trying to find a way in writer to automatically select/highlight every word individually of a highlighted sentence. Currently I am holding control and double clicking each word.
see attached document for better understanding.

Do you want to do it temporarly for some reason, or do you want to colorize the background of the words permanetly (but not the spaces)?
@ptardif500
You could work on FIND&REPLACE (regular expressions activated):
.
SEARCH:
[^\s].*?\b
extended:
[^\s^,^:].+?\b
.
Words are highlighted.
Then leave the tool (words are still selected) and format the words, if this is your task.
.
But bear in mind: There may be specific problems like words in parentheses or quotes/apostrophes or commas/punctuation characters etc. See here: UAX #29: Unicode Text Segmentation
I want the words selected. See solution
Thank you! Works perfectly for my needs (adding a custom frame to each word).
Yes, with Find and Replace…
Thank you for the added information to the solution.
