FAQ
What is the difference between highlight and text shading?
- Highlight usually appears as a more visible color block behind the text and is useful for emphasizing keywords or important sentences.
- Text shading is closer to a background fill effect around or behind text and often looks softer.
- If you want to emphasize reading focus, highlight is usually the more direct choice; for broader formatting, other text styles can also be used.
Why can't I see the highlight effect after selecting text?
- First, make sure the target text is selected correctly.
- Check whether the current document is editable instead of read-only or restricted.
- Open Tools → Home → Highlight again and choose a color one more time to test the result.
How do I remove a highlight color that has already been added?
- Select the text that already has a highlight.
- Open Tools and go to the Home tab.
- In the Highlight area, choose No Color to clear the highlight.
