Text and drawing objects are entirely different animals, and the Highlighter
is quite different from either. Text shading provides a useful alternative
to the Highlighter, whose limited palette includes so few usable colors.

Thanks for that, Suzanne - it would be quite a good idea for MSoft to have
just one way of highlighting stuff in files, I think :-)
A very Happy New Year to you!

In Word 2003 I find the 'background color' and 'line color' drop-down
menus
greyed out, on a document shared by others (but which I can edit) -
this
means that I cannot remove highlighting before moving the document on
to
an
outside user. How do I get that functionality back?
