Have not experienced the problem, but as a potential workaround & for
further info, what happens if you select the text _first_ & then apply the
highlight color?

Hello,
I am having problems with my highlighter tool in Word 2003. Sometime when I
want to highlight multiple sections of my document using the Ctrl key and the
highlighter tool, the highlighting jumps to a totally different section of
the document. Sometime the whole application crashes. The real headache is
that this problem is intermittant.

I have updated my Office 2003 to SP1 and installed all the updates.

If anyone has any ideas please provide them as this is driving me nuts.

Regards,
