Changing the Highlighting Color

The Highlight tool is very helpful when you want to draw attention to different areas of a document. The highlighter works in much the same way that a highlighter pen works with a paper document. The default color used for the highlighter is yellow, but this can be easily changed to any other color you desire. This is particularly helpful if you are using a color printer and some colors print better than others.

You change the color of your highlighting by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the Highlight tool on the toolbar. You can then select from any of fifteen different colors for your highlighting. When you change the highlight color, it does not affect any highlighting you have already done in the document. Old highlighting remains the old color; only new highlighting assumes the new color.
