Preview - highlight words

How can I change the highlight colour when searching for words in a pdf in Preview? I find the grey is hard to see. Thanks, Mike

drmike789,
I'm glad that you found your answer, although I would like to point out some things. 1) if you select (Group by page) it will change the highlight color from gray to yellow. The group by page is located right below the search tool. 2) Open up System Preferences -> Universal Access -> Seeing (tab) -> and make sure the (Enhance Contrast) bar is set to Normal, all the way to the Left. I know this can make the gray highlight color very difficult to see if set up a little. Same goes for the blue highlight color in other apps.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Ibooks hangs when I try to highlight words.

What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

what is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro?
Shift + U is not working
how can i change shortcut key?

I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
HELP PLEASE
Very worried!!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Live Preview Highlight is not working.

I recently downloaded Edge Code to a new work computer and the Live Preview Highlight is not working.
I have Edge Code installed on a personal computer, and it works great. The version I am using was downloaded about 6 months ago so I am not sure if they changed something with the most recent version. When I highlight a section within the html i.e. a table or row, it would highlight those same sections in the preview. However, this is not the case on my new computer.
Anybody know whats up? Is it setting on Chrome that I need to change or is there some update that I am not aware of.

I guess I assumed that you had Chrome setup to auto-update (like I have it). The only way Live Preview will work in a previous version of Edge Code is with an older version of Chrome.
But there are other reason why Live Preview may not work in latest version of Edge Code. Take a look at Live Preview section of Troubleshooting Guide.

Preview highlight and shadow clipping mask in second monitor

Hi, I'm new in the forum and just starting with the new LR3. I have a question about to preview highlight and shadow clipping in the second monitor, becouse I can't check the mask clipping in my second monitor as in the LR2... Is there a possibility to change it to preview the mask in the second monitor?
Thanks and regards
Daniel

Yeah, thanks.... but I mean that when you are in develop mode and you try to see the highlight or black clipping mask, red or blue, now in LR3 only appears in the main monitor, not in the second monitor as well like in LR2... Maybe I'm not explaining very well the difference...

I am looking at a web page with highlighted words that are links that open new windows. I don't even click on them and they upen as I pass over them accidentily with the cursor. extremely annoying!what is it called and how can I remove this 'feature'

it is usually one highlighted word that when touched, opens up a small window of related companies or info or websites that I might be interested in. one word "presenter" was highlighted, touched it with my cursor, and I think caught a damaging virus.

Change color for highlight words

I'm using the highlight words column attribute for a report with a search parameter. I was wondering if there is a way to change the color of the text that is highlighted? The html that is generated wraps the highlighted word with search string

sql functions like INSTR, SUBSTR, and DECODE are good for this...
select decode(instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)),
0, emp.ename,
substr(emp.ename,1,
instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)) - 1)
|| '' ||
substr(emp.ename, instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)),
length (:P1_SEARCH))
|| '' ||
substr(emp.ename, instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)) + length(:P1_SEARCH) )) my_column_alias
from emp;
...hope this helps,

I have highlighted words in an .iba file. Now I need to increase the space before (and/or after) the paragraph it's contained in. If I increase the space after, the height of the highlighting increases also. Is there any way around this?

Change highlight word color in a report

Hi All,
I have question regarding highlighting search words in a report. I used APEX's "Highlight Words" column attribute to achieve this. My search string is a list of words 'table,chair,sofa' It works perfectly fine showing the matching words in Red color. But I want to change the color to yellow. If it's a single word then I think I can do it using the replace SQL function and change the color using the But in my case I have a list. Any advise appreciated...
Thanks in advance.

Another option would be to include relevant SQL to do your highlighting. E.g.
select replace(replace(object_name,'table','table'),'chair','chair') object_name from bits_of_furniture
It's certainly not pretty but the above would highlight all tables and chairs in yellow. What you could do is put together a PL/SQL function which accepts as parameters: the string to make replacements in, a comma-separated list of terms to replace and the colour to highlight with. So your SQL might become:
select highlight(object_name,'chair,table,sofa','yellow') from bits_of_furniture
All you have to do is build the highlight() function... :)

How to remove highlighted word ads on web pages. Tried everything

Hi everyone. Haviing a problem with highlighted words ads on web pages. Tried everything. Went safari / preferences / extensions. Removed everything. The problem remains. Can anyone help me on this one?

you may have Genieo installed
see
http://www.genieo.com/faq/#q20
Note that, if Genieo is installed, using the recommendations that Genieo themselves provide on that page will not remove it. They cannot be trusted, and their uninstaller is known not to remove everything. Proper Genieo removal instructions can be found in my Adware Removal Guide.
I don't believe this is a Genieo problem, though. Genieo usually just hijacks the search engine. It doesn't cause the random underlined words that cause ads to pop up. That's going to be caused by some other adware, probably also described in my Adware Removal Guide.

Mail underline or highlight words

Can you underline or highlight words in the text box of mail.

Yes. After you select your text to format it - Tap the arrow that points to the right in the next black box that pops up and then another box pops up with a B/I/U - bold, italics and underline. Tap that option to format your text.
There are a couple of options to select text - Select and Select all - so experiment to see how it works.
