Highlighting Protected Document

[hmlcc]

I have created a document and have protected it from allowing the users to
format it unless they use the allowed styles. In the document I have added
highlighted text so the users know they must make changes to this
information. After they make the changes, I want them to be able to
un-highlight the text but the text highlight tool is greyed out and
unavailable. Is there any way to add just the highlight took back for the
users to access? If not, how can I allow the users to un-highlight the
selected text?

thanks in advance

selected text?

two options:

- you provide code that basically unprotects the document, toggles the
highlighting of the selection, and then reprotects.

- you use some formatting that Word's styles can "tap into" -- not
possible with highlighting, but for instance with a different font color.
