Thread: I can't save highlighted text in a regular word document

I can't save highlighted text in a regular word document
mmallory24 12/11/2008 10:15:06 PM
I was trying to highlight text to hide the names of certain people in a report
(for confidentiality purposes). I used to be able to save documents with
the highlights included, but now I cannot. Even it's on the screen, it won't
print the highlighted text. I ran a virus check and deleted some files on
Java, but the problem remains. I would really appreciate some help on this.

Can you simply use hidden text?

Ordinarily if highlighting is displayed, it will print; if not, not.

Does the highlighting show up in print preview? Does your printer allow you
to choose not to print colors or effects?

On rereading, I believe by "highlight" the OP means "select" and that the
text was selected and formatted as Hidden. If so, then "Hidden text" would
have to be checked on the Print tab of Tools | Options in order to print
that text.
