Highlighting in powerpoint 2000

[Guest]

I have a user that would like to highlight in PowerPoint 2000.

If he types the sentence "This is a test!" and wants to highlight test as
yellow; I cannot find the highlight button that is mentioned in the Help
section of PowerPoint. Is this an add-in button that I must install first?
I can highlight in Word 2000 with no issues.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks,
Mike Fabrico

Did you mean this bit of help:
=========================================================
To highlight text or graphics on the Whiteboard
In the Whiteboard toolbox, click the Highlighter tool.

Drag the pointer over the item you want to highlight.
Notes

=========================================================

That only applies to use of the Whiteboard during online meetings.

PowerPoint itself has no way to highlight text the way Word does,
unfortunately.

About all you can do is draw rectangles around the text, send them back, color
them as desired then group them with the text. And don't edit the text
afterwards! ;-)
