Accidentally removed trusted yellow highlight tool, how do i restore it?

this evening I accidentally removed (i.e., deleted?) my most trusted YELLOW highlight Tool from PDF toolbar
and cannot find way to restore it. Can someone please provide help to remedy this problem? Thanx

Thank-you Steve. While this worked (i.e., for yellow highlight text) , it appears the larger overriding issue recently occurred with latest acrobat update i.e., the entire customized toolbar was lost. screen resolution/font size is larger (i.e., certain key pop-windows are now too large to activate /i.e., hit "enter" and make desired changes). As well other frequently used tools now appear gone (and are inaccessible) i.e., such as "insert text box"
Is this something that cccurred with latest update or more having to do with my desktop? Hasn't happened before w-previous updates.
Thanks for all assistance.

Highlighting Text & Auto Text Options

I've recently migrated from MS Word to Pages, and I'm determined to make this new relationship work. In Word I used its highlighting text (as with a real highlighter--yellow, pink, etc.) feature, as well as its Auto Text feature, in which I had a number of prescribed, hyperlinked comments. (I'm a teacher, and I would auto text things like, "comma error," which would then be linked to a web page about comma errors.
Can anyone help me discover ways to do both of these in Pages? Also, is there anything for Pages like MS Word's macros?
Thanks in advance,
Brad Carpenter

Welcome to the forums, Brad.
There is no direct analogue in Pages to Word's highlighting feature. However, you can use the Comments feature to add specific comments to a specific piece of text (with the advantage that the comments can be easily hidden, since you are not changing the characteristics of the actual text). Simply select a bit of text and click the Comment icon in the toolbar, or from the Insert menu select "Comment". The selected text will highlight in document, and a comments box will appear to the left of the page, in which you can type whatever you want. In the comments box you can select whatever text you want and make it a hyperlink, by going to the Hyperlink Inspector. Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to automate the creation of a hyperlink, at least as far as I know.
There are plenty of third-party applications that will let you store and add snippets of text easily to any Mac document, including Pages. These include TypeIt4Me, Butler, and even Quicksilver, which has a fanatical following and may be more than you need for this kind of task. I'm sure others here might be able to suggest other apps.
One caution, however: If you intend to be sharing documents with others, they must be using Pages themselves to take advantage of these features. Unless your students are also using Pages, these workarounds won't really help.

Highlighting Text In Pages 4 and 5: How To/Best Methods?

Hello Fellow Macers:
I need advice on the best way to highlight text in Pages 4 and 5:
I use and prefer Pages 4.3. Yes, I have Pages 5.2, and I find that using it good for some things (dictating into a document), but not so good for others - highlighting text.
For example, I read tons of documents and like to make notes, comments and especially highlight text according to a color-code scheme that I have used for years.
For those who use Word, this process of highlighting text is pretty straight-forward:
You highlight your text and then simply click your highlight box on the Word toolbar (choose a default color, usually yellow) and you're done. If you need to use another color, just use the pull-down, as seen above. The drawback in Word - no Orange, or sectrum option.
But let's face it - Word as a program is just too much. As someone who has used every word processing program under the sun, I find Pages excellent. It does what I need.
However, I find highlighting text in Pages clumsy. Here's what I need to do to highlight text in Pages 4.3:
Go to your toolbar, and then choose a highlight/background color. It's more labor intensive then Word, above, but you do have the option of more colors.
Then there's this method, where basically you get to simply use yellow as your color:
IMHO both are clumsy methods compared to Word, but have become even more so in Pages 5.2....
Lots of clicks to achieve simple color highlights.
Am I missing something, or is there a simpler way, in either Pages 4 or Pages 5, to achieve the above results???
Any suggestions appreciated!

Dear VikingOSX:
As Ed MacMahon once said (before your time?) re Pages 5 Character Fill Color: "You are correct, sir!!"
The gear icon IS where the function that I'm talking about is located. Still, it's annoying.
Q: Why?
A: Because from a work-flow perspective as someone who is highlighting it makes no sense. We in the Western world read and write from top to bottom, left to right. Making a mark on a doc should follow the same flow.
You should not have to keep looking over to the right side of the doc to find your function. Logically it should be at the top (e.g., toolbar), on the left, or perhaps some contextual pop-up option.
Furthermore, it's more "labor intensive" from this point of view: In Word, once you set the color (which, granted, you may need to change from time to time IF you, like me, use multiple colors as part of your highlighting workflow), you just click the box after highlighting the text - 1 click vs 2, and possibly 3.
The "richer color" part of my comment was just to note that a flaw, in my view, of Word's basic scheme is that:
1) It lacks an Orange. And we've all used an Orange highlighter at somepoint, right? Or perhaps, you were like me in High School and threw them instead. But you get the point...and
2) Having a wider pallatte available as an option - which you do in Apple's scheme - is nice. I use color coding/highlighting to make notes and save time. The colors tell me what's important, what's next important, key terms, etc. Also, for example, if I wanted to outline my highlighting notes, the color scheme (which has a heirarchy based on color, right?) allows me to do this quickly because it's already there.
As for the Dictation function working on Pages '09/4.3 - again, you are correct, sir! And that's great to know. I had tried to use it before when the new Pages 5 (hitting fn twice on Pages 4.3) but it didn't activate. I tried it after reading your response and Bingo! It's Alive! So thanks for that tip.
Your keyboard shortcut scheme is an interesting idea, and I may try it as an experiment. My intuition is that it will not work as straight-forwardly as Word's toolbar pull-down will, but I might be wrong. We'll see.
And yes, I do use Pages '09 (4.3) instead of Pages 5 for exactly this reason (see my discussion)
Great reply! Thanks!

Highlighting Text Acting Like REDACTING Text

Dunno what's goin on. A Pro 9. Windows Home, ALL UPDATES.
I highlight text and instead of seeing the text highlited, the highligt COVERS the tex. It's YELLOW colored REDTACTION.
I've REPAIRED the app TWICE. I REBOOTED each time. That APPEARED to have corrected the problem. It DIDN'T because the REPAIR failed and the HIGHLIGHT BLOTTOED OUT the text. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I opened the last thing I was working on where the YELLOW HIGHLIGHT redacted the text and the text WAS VISIBLE while highlighted. THEN I opened another PDF file and same deal, the YELLOW highlighting REDACTED rather than HIGHLIGHTED.
Uh, is it a me thing? Is it a thing I can chek or uncheck in A Pro 9? Wassup with this weirdness?

CS4 is not kind to those who don't know HTML/CSS well enough
to avoid these
errors, I'm afraid. It's really all about how much HTML and
CSS you feel
comfortable with, not the tool you are using. Should the
page/site be
rebuilt? I think so - at the least it should be taken apart
and
reassembled. Are the mistakes you made ones that you will
make again? Yes,
I think so.
I don't want to sound harsh or pessimistic, but I think
that's the bottom
line. I assume you are building the site for her so that she
wouldn't have
the expense of paying someone to do it, right? But wouldn't
you also want
her site to be the best it can be, and not to look/behave
like someone's
first site?
Now - if you want to bite the bullet and shove down some HTML
& CSS, and
muddle through, there is plenty of help here, but if you
aren't carrying
your load, people will tire of solving the problems you
encounter.

With interactive reports in APEX 3.1 you can use the pull down menu to highlight cells and or rows of data. You can apply many highlighting rules, that are evaluated in order. So high values can be green, low values red, and other values default. You can try this running the sample application on OTN:

How do you highlight text in Pages for iPad? The document I want to create and highlight is a pages document

I am trying to create a document in Pages for iPad and want to highlight various bits of text but can not find a function in the inspector for this. Can anyone help,please?

Hi stuartdj,
I'm not finding a way to highlight text as one can do with iBooks (hold and swipe for black text, background yellow for example).
One option is to actually color the text itself.
Select the text, then in Style tools, tap the Font name at the top which shows the Text Options sheet where there is a Color option. Would changing the font color to Red, Green or Purple accomplish your goals?
If you do want black text on a colored background (highlighted) it would need to be text in a text box where you can change the fill (background) color. Style, Style Options, Fill. But this is not inline text and doesn't flow like just coloring the font itself.

How Do highlight text in the body of an email message in Mac Mail?

Can anyone tell if IF and HOW I can highlight text in the body of an email message using Mac Mail (in Yosemite). I do NOT mean MARKUP an attachment. I want to highlight a word or phrase in the body of my email message. I know I can change the font color, but can't seem to add a highlight! Thanks!

Hi,
is is possible, - link is below. Works on Yosemite, btw.

How do I highlight text in the new Pages? It's not clear.

I have the new version of Pages. And it appears that highlighting of text is an issue. This is a basic function.
I found there is one quick key version, but doesn't clearly explain how to change highlighting colours. How to get into it.
I have to explain this to my 80 year old mom, who we told to get a Mac because it was easier!
So if anyone has it laid out step 1, 2, 3, that would be helpful, because it's not clear to me either.
Thanks!
Apple - please to a quick fix for this one, it should be the same as changing the size or the font or like bold or italic. Simple, clear, fast and doable..... for anyone!

TO Peter,
Thanks for the list. I had found it in LibreOffice, tucked away in the Background tab of the Character pane opened by the Character... menu item in the Format menu, and named "Background Color. A few steps further down than in Pages. Apache OpenOffice has it in the same place. But both also have a hilight icon in the toolbar.
I didn't fin highlighting or Color fill in Text Edit (v1.8). Might need a further search.
But this well-equipped party of (one) oscurantist did find a shorter path to highlighting text in Pages '09, cleverly hidden in plain view! See the image below.
TO hscortez,
I'm aware that changing the text colour is not highlighting.
But YeOldMacFan pointed out how to change text colour AND how to change background colour of text, using Character fill, found in the Advanced Options (Pages 5) or the More (Pages '09) tab of the Text Inspector.
Character Fill fills the space around the character with the chosen colour. As shown above, it's essentially the same effect as dragging a hiliter pen along a line of printed text.
Unfortunately, whats shown above is the Character fill well on the format bar of Pages '09—right out in the open like the highlighter pen button in LibreOffice, and presumeably in MS Word. I don't have Pages 5 (avoiding it until a few more of the missing features arrive), but I do note that Pages for iOS offers highlight as one of the options in the contextual menu that appears when a block of text is selcted.
The process appears to be:
tap twice to select some text.
drag the handles at each end of the selection to adjust what's selected.
tap Highlight in the menu that has appeared on the screen.
One thing missing appears to be colour choice. The default is a 'hiliter yellow'. I didn't see a way to select a different colour.
"Hopefully, this will make it on their upgrade list. "
Hope is good, but taking action is useful.
Pages menu > Provide Pages Feedback > Make your request that this be added to Pages 5. Requests made through Provide ...Feedback go directly to Apple. Comments and questions here are read by users like yourself, and we don't have the ability to change the way the apps work. Not directly,anyway.
Regards,
Barry

How to highlight text in a screen grab?

I did a screen grab from imdb (Internet Movie DataBase) off the Internet. It's currently in .png format.
I want to highlight part of the text in the text in this picture as if I were using a yellow highlighter marker. I've tried everything I can think of but so far no dice.
It seems that the thing to do is to choose Tools > Mark Up, but Mark Up is grayed out.
I know this is possible because a guy I work with does it all the time. But it's too late to call him, and he's fairly irrascible anyway. And I know I did it once a while ago.
Can someone help? Thanks.

I'd never used Grab before, so just did so. It's an awfully simple app, it seems - offers some capture controls the keyboard commands don't (such as timed and full window), but doesn't seem to be able to do anything other than capture an image. Its Preferences are bare-bones.
I had to open my test image in Preview to make any annotations. That was easy - save the image in Grab to the desktop and name it, then a double-click of the file opened it in Preview.
So, we're back to Preview.
Don't understand why the annotation tools aren't available to you in Preview.
Edit - -
Just rebooted into Snow Leopard to do some testing. No matter what I tried, new screenshot using keyboard or Grab, fiddling with settings, I could not get Preview to not allow selecting the Rectangle tool.
Only other thing I can think of - do a Get Info on the screenshot file, check the permsissions at the bottom of the Get Info window.

How to Highlight text in DW?

I've been trying to find an easy way to highlight my text
with yellow or some other colors. It looks like in DW you need to
go through 1.5 Mil steps and maybe and hopefully this thing could
get done. I appreciate if any of you know an easy way to
highlight/shade the text in DW.
Thanks.

This is an example of

Preview: highlight text slowly disappears over the days

Hello everyone.
I have several days reading a book in pdf format with preview.app, and I highlight text in bright yellow.
I have reviewed all the highlighted text and the color yellow is more tenuous as I approach the beginning of the book.
In fact the highlight of the first page no longer exists.
How I can do to make all the highlight is of the same intensity of color?
I use Preview Versión 5.5 (719). Thank you.

Tonight I went to the Genius Bar. There seems to be two options:
(1) Do as the genius did tonight:
- Reset the home folder's ACL (Access Control List.) (He said to Google this to learn exactly how to do this.)
- Repair the disk permissions
- Delete the Preview preference file. It's a "plist" file located in user/library/preferences
If that doesn't work, then:
(2) Re-install Lion.
I tried Preview with the fixes and most of my problems seemed to be fixed. Those being the colors of the highlighted text and notes haven't dimmed after a number of quits and restarts of Preview. However, the grey text that I originally included in my annotations became invisible again. They're still there, but you can't seem them. Although the text that I included using other colors (blue & red) continue to appear.
My feeling that this still might be an issue related to versions, but who knows.

The simplest way is to use a span and set a background-color for the text you wish to highlight.
e.g.
This is some text
css for above -
.graybg{
backgroung- color: #666666;
This would give you a gray background.

I tried both, and neither worked. Any other ideas on how to do this? I cannot believe it is so hard to do this in Dreamweaver MX 2004, highlighting text. I'm even enclosing an attachment showing how I did this in the This is some text above.
Thank you,

HI PZ:
Here is the new Code:
This is some text .
I'm trying to highlight this text in yellow or gray.
Can anyone help me with this?

This is some highlighted text
But I still don't see any of the text higlighted in gray in the browser?
What's up with that? Man, Dreamweaver is so hard to get to highlight text -
GOOD GRIEF, Why can't Adobe make it easy? What a Pain!!!
Go to http://promoterpower.com/test.html, and you will see what I mean about
any of the text being highlighted.
Thank you,
