Working with the highlighter

The Highlighter Tool serves the same function for an eText page as a highlighter marker serves for pages in a book. It allows you to mark an area of importance on a page within the eText. Using the Highlighter Tool, you can add highlights or hide and show them. Highlighted areas can also be resized, moved (repositioned), and deleted.

Adding and Deleting a Highlight

If you see the following button in your eText toolbar, you can add or delete highlighting to eText content; otherwise you cannot.

To add highlighting to eText content:

1. Navigate to the page where you want to add a highlight.
2. Click the Highlighting Tool button on the toolbar.

3. If you have alternate highlighting colors available, click the arrow next to the button to display the available colors and select one to proceed.

   • Click a location anywhere on the page where you want to add a highlight.
   • Drag the highlighter pointer over the area of the page you want to highlight.

To delete a highlighted area:

1. Double-click a highlighted area on the page. The highlighted area displays an x in the upper right corner.

   Note: If the x is not displayed, resize the highlighted area until the x is displayed (as described in Resizing a highlighted area).

2. Click x in the upper right corner of the highlighted area.
