Visual Filters & Copy / Paste Tool

Hello all.  An obscure question:

Is there any way to keep the colors applied in a visual filter when copy and pasting text into Pages, Word or something else?  I know this is sort of obscure, but I'm a seminary student who would benefit from presenting different Hebrew stems in different colors in presentations and projects.  I love using the filters when I'm studying, but wish there was a way to get those filters into some sort of presentation format.  I can always do the search and then highlight manually, as I have been, I just figured I'd check in case I can save myself the time.

Again, I apologize for the out-of-nowhere question.

Thanks...

    [I] Screenshot - Apple Pro Tip for screen capture to clipboard => http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/secretcapture.html  Then use Preview:

    * File => New from clipboard

    * Use select tool to highlight desired text (default Preview tool)

    * Copy (command + c)

    * File => New from clipboard

    * Tools => Annotate (as desired with arrows, ovals, rectangles, and text with color choices)

    * Select All (command + a)

    * Paste into Pages, Word, or something else

    * Optional: save file as jpeg (often can reduce image size without affecting readability)

    Keep Smiling [:)]

    Michelle, I am not sure if there was an answer to this. I am having the same problem. I use the visual filters to delimit clauses and with the update I can no longer do that. Are there any fixes to this? Thanks!
