Carol, some of this depends on what you mean by "highlighted" and what you
want to do/mean by "pull".

Chip Pearson has done a world of work with dealing with cells that have
color applied to them ( hightlighted? ). These two pages give you some
information on that kind of thing, with the second page describing certain
things that you can do that he has provided functions for via a file to
download and use. While the first page indicates he's only talking about
sorting by color, it leads to more functions and is a good introduction to
what he provides on the second page listed below.

How are the entries highlighted?

By coloring manually all the same color?

One method.........................

Select all cells.

EditFindFormatFormatPattern.........pick the pattern and "find all"

After the finding and with the "found" dialog still open hit CTRL + a to
select the founds.

EditCopy then paste to another worksheet.
