marco772 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi, Just a quick question, I have just compiled a large document and would like to be able to highlight certain passages to make them stand out when scrolling through it. Is there a highlighting option in Word? Ideally I'd like to mark the backgrounds of certain pages without altering the colours of the fonts. Don't know if there is a dedicated function for this? If not how do I select just the page I'm on to colour whilst leaving those around it white? I see how to change the background, but it applies itself to the whole doc! Also, is there a way to select passages of text where there are already two colours (blue for the persons name and black for their text) and just change the colour, say, of the black to red without altering the blue!? To do each entry one at a time (hence avoiding the blue altogether would just take too long!). Tips and advice on any of the above would be most welcome and save me a lot of time!

rollcage Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 The highlight function is in the toolbox. For Word 2008: Or Word 2004: I'm not sure if it's possible to do the second thing.
