Question
Using InDesign CS4, I want to highlight only fragments of text in a Text Box so that at the end I am left with text that has a background color only on specific lines or words. How can I do this?
alright,
I played with this for a few minutes, and I'm not entirely sure how to do this easily in Indesign. I know how to go at the hard way.
(make a box that is the same as the text you want to highlite, and then put it behind your text).
ugg...sorry...

| Comment | Thanks, but I was looking to find an answer that applied it directly on the text, due to the amount of text... a highlighted effect is needed, and it would take forever to do it manually creating boxes in the back of every segment of text. | ||
