Hi,
After having prepared a sermon, i wanted to highlight certain important sentences. seems like i dont have that option.
You can bold them, underline them, but not highligth them. You are right. I would prefer the highlighting tool, too.
This is definitely possible.
Select the text you want to highlight, click on the Styles button (Aa) and then select a background colour.
I should have said, "Welcome to the forums, Andrew!"
