WD: Using Highlighting Tool Causes Option to Be Turned On

• Microsoft Word for Windows 95, versions 7.0, 7.0a
• Microsoft Word 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

Selecting the Highlight toolbar button enables any previous document highlighting to show.

CAUSE

When the Highlight toolbar button is clicked, the Highlight option is selected on the View menu automatically by Word. Thus, any previous document highlighting becomes visible and may give the appearance that the Highlight tool is not functioning correctly.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Word 7.0 for Windows 95 and Word 97 for Windows provide a new text Highlighting feature. This feature is a view option from the Tools, Options menu. If you select this option, any highlighting that has been applied to text in the document becomes visible.

For Word to display (and print) text highlighting, the View Highlight option must be selected. If this option is not selected, then the text highlighting will not appear (or print). Once you select this option, you must manually turn it off through the menu selections.

To turn off Highlighting:

1. On the Tools menu, click Options.



2. Click the View tab. Clear the Highlight check box under Show.
