Highlight pictures
Hi.
Does anyone have a tip for how to highlight pictures in Microsoft Word? To highlight text I of course use the embedded highlight feature but for pictures it's not so easy. I would like to have a ring around it, or something that makes the reader extra aware. Any suggestion is appreciated. |

Highlight pictures
As you have found out, Highlight does not want to work with images.
A quick work-around could be to add a border around the picture, with this you have a large choice of colours to make it stand out. Or, you could highlight the caption for each picture.

What I would like is to have a "circle" around the important images, almost looking like it's drawn by hand (but I can't make those kind of circles by hand in Word). There is of course the option of inserting a circle, resizing it to the correct size and have no filling, but it doesn't look that good either...

Thanks for the explanation.
I tend not to do this type of annotation in Word, either using PowerPoint/Visio/Illustrator (whichever the original image came from) and add the annotation there, and reimport into Word. This ensures that the annotation does not "slip" and will always print, when in Word. I don't know if the "hand-drawn circle" is available online somewhere, I created one years ago that I still use.
