Highlighting text |
|
In a Word document, highlighting serves to draw attention to the text.
This can be useful for emphasizing a point, tracking a document change (if you do not
use the document tracking tool, described below), or simply to give a document
some graphical pizzazz.
Using the Highlight Tool
To highlight text, enter the text and then click the arrow next to
the Highlight Text button
on the Formatting toolbar. Select a highlight color from
the menu palette and then select the text to be highlighted.
The highlight tool acts just like a highlighting marker!

Tip:
To hide highlights in a document without removing them (e.g., when printing a hardcopy), go to
Tools --- Options --- View on the Menu bar and unselect
the "Highlight" check box.

Word has an editing feature called Track
Changes. It functions differently in Word 2003 (shown below) than it does in Word 2000, or in Word 2007.

Word 2003
- Open the Word document to be edited.
- From the menu choose, Tools: then Track Changes. The Reviewing Toolbar will indicate that
Track Changes is in use by the appearance of the Track Changes tool.

In the sample paragraph below, notice how the changes are
indicated by a different color. In addition, Word 2003
places detailed information in "call-outs" on the right of the document:
