Highlighting Your Document
You can add a colour highlight to text or other images in a document. To
do this, select a colour and then draw a rectangular highlight over the
desired area. All highlight colours are transparent and display in the
colour you specify. When you print the document, the highlighted region
prints as grey shadings.
To highlight a region:
1. In the Annotation toolbox, click the Highlighter tool.
2. To select a highlighting background colour, point to Background
Colour on the Annotation menu, and then click the desired colour.
3. Drag the cursor over the area you want to highlight. When you release
the mouse button, the highlight is completed.
Creating a Drawing Graphic
You can also annotate a document with one or more drawing objects that
include a straight line, a single-headed arrow, a hollow rectangle, and a
hollow circle or ellipse. When you draw the object, you can select the
colour, line thickness, and style of line for the object.
To create a drawing object:
1. In the Annotation toolbox, click the drawing object tool.
2. On the Annotation menu, select the colour, line thickness, and style of
line for the object you are drawing. For an arrow or line, also select the
particular style you want to use.
3. At the desired location in the document display area, drag the cursor
to draw the object. When you release the mouse button, the object is
completed.
