Two approaches

Right click the screen > pointer options > highlighter

OR

Add a yellow rectangle behind the text and have it appear / disappear with a
trigger

What John said.

Also, if you need to animate just a word or two in a textbox, you must put
the word(s) in their own textbox. You can't animate just part of the text a
textbox -- it's all or nothing.
