MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / January 2004Lighter Highlights?
Highlighted text printed on a color printer comes out REAL DARK. Is there any way to make the highlighting less intense - more like a real highlighter? I'm using Word 97 and an HP 6110xi. It would be more work, but instead of using highlighting you could apply shading to the text (Format | Borders and Shading: Apply to: Text). If you select a light tint of the color chosen, this might be an improvement. -- Suzanne S.

I set up macros to apply 40% shading to the presently selected text in different colors, and assigned the macros to hot keys. It was some work to get it set up, but it works great now. Only hassle was that I couldn't figure out a way to assign F1 to a macro. Thanks for the suggestion. >It would be more work, but instead of using highlighting you could apply >shading to the text (Format | Borders and Shading: Apply to: Text). If you >select a light tint of the color chosen, this might be an improvement. You don't want to use F1 for a macro because it's reserved for Help. Pick a different hotkey. -- Suzanne S.

Useful on long documents to limit search results.
