How to highlight errors

[BigJonMX]

I know that word has track-changes features, but i have been asked to mark
the errors in a document by circling the error with a yellow line. (Like you
would circle adverts in a newspaper). How can i do this in Word?
i tried 'drawing' but that inserts stuff, it doesnt allow drawing on top of
the exisiting text.
Please help.

You might inquire whether you could use yellow highlighting instead. Trying
to use the drawing tools to circle errors in Word (especially with a yellow
line, which would not be very obvious, it seems to me) is a tremendous waste
of your time, although it can be done (you need to change the wrapping of
the ovals you're drawing to In Front of Text).
