Copying Visual Filters

I have been creating morphology visual filters.  For example, I have all the verbs in my UBS4 highlighted.  I now want to copy Greek text with the filter into a Word document.  I can copy the Greek but the filter is not copied.  Does anyone know how to do this?

    I don't have Word, but my impression is that it should work if you use a highlighting style that Word supports, but not if you use one that Word doesn't support. Try something simple like different font colour, rather than different background colour.

    Thanks fgh.  It does work to copy when I change the text color.  Apparently a box or underline visual filter does not copy. 

    I will keep playing around and figure out what works best for me.

                                    I was a bit surprised last week when I had a visual filter on and copied something into Word and saw some colours copy over also ...   I have not figured out yet how I might use this and benefit myself or others by this -- however, it's nice to have the capability ...

    Here's a sample - copied to a Word Document   ..........        Word Document inserted into this post ...6471.Daniel - 1 Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος.docx

    Edit:

    This is the very first time I've ever been able to put colour in a copy in Word and I'm pondering the possibilities.

    One option is capturing a screen shot, then pasting image into a Word document, which preserves all visual filter highlighting.
