Default Change highlight color

Well I just got finsihed doing lots of highlights in a 330 page doc and my boss decides he wants the highlights in a diffenrt color.



Is there a way to do this automatically- (change from blue to red highlights) without having to manually change several hundred highlights?

Thanks

Dave

If there is only one highlight colour used throughout the document, you can make the change using Find/Replace. Simply change the highlight setting to the desired colour then use the Find/Replace options to set the 'Highlight' option for both the Find & Replace paramaters.

… but gently suggest to your boss that red highlights may well turn out grey (or even make the text underneath them illegible) if someone prints/photocopies the document in black and white <g>
