Marking up documents with text markup tools
The text markup tools provide several methods for visually annotating text in a document.
You can use these comments by themselves or in conjunction with other comment types.
For example, you may want to highlight or strike through a section of text, and then
double-click to add a note window to explain your reason for the markup.
Examples of the uses for text markup tools
To highlight, strike through, or underline text:
1
Select the highlight tool
, the strikeout tool
, or the underline tool
.
2
Move the cursor to the beginning of the text you want to mark up and drag:
•
Left/right mouse actions mark up text horizontally.
•
Up/down mouse actions mark up text vertically.
•
Ctrl-drag (Windows) and alt-drag (Mac OS) mouse actions create a rectangle to mark up
a column of text.
Release the mouse button to complete the action. The selected text area changes color
when the action is complete.
