Highlight Text in PP 2002

[Laura]

Hi,

I'd like to highlight text on a powerpoint slide. Not
somethign that highlights when I mouse over or click, but
just text that is always highlighted as the slide is
viewed. The way you would highlight text in Word.

Is there a feature specifically for this?

The closest I've gotten is to draw a yellow square and
place it behind the text.

Thanks so much.

Hi Laura,

The simplest way is to "fill" the text box with yellow, but if you're only
highlighting a section of the text in the box, the method you've described is
effective.

Since you're using PPT 2002, you might also be able to place the box on top
of the text and use the transparency options in the fill colors to
highlight. Other than that, what you've done is pretty much the way to do it
in PPT.
