Can I highlight a column of text?

Post by lknowlton »

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a way to highlight a column or arbitrary region of text. Currently when you use the highlighter function it grabs entire lines with no apparent option to not do so.
Thank you!

Hello Larry,

Please take a look at these two KBs:

How do I place freehand highlights
How do I highlight things on a document that contains only images?

If your column it a rectangular object - you can also try using the rectangle tool with the correct options.

Regards,
Stefan

Thanks Stefan, the rectangle tool with the multiply option does the trick!

Hi, Larry.
I was wondering if there was a way to highlight a column or arbitrary region of text.
Other method:
press and hold the 'Alt' key and left-click outside the text-block. Holding the mouse button, move pointer over the desired area of such text-block. When you release the mouse button - it will select and highlight text only inside the selection-boundaries...

Best
