Highlighting Content

Contract Tools highlights many items in your document. Some items are highlighted depending on what you select. You can select an item by clicking or by setting the insertion point (cursor) using the arrow keys.

When you select this	This is highlighted	To learn more, go to
Defined term	Instances of the defined term	Working with Defined Terms
Cross-reference	Cross-references to the same item	Working with Cross-References
Placeholder	Other placeholders	Finding To‑Dos
Ancillary	Other ancillaries	Working with Ancillaries
Inline list, proviso list	List markers	Working with Inline Lists and Proviso Lists
Amount of money, duration, date, time of day	Similar items	Finding Numbers, Amounts of Money, and Dates and Times
Parenthesis	Matching parentheses	—

Other items are always highlighted, even if they’re not selected:

• Drafting errors (see Proofreading Documents)

• Search results (see Finding Text)

To hide highlighting, or to use underlining instead of highlighting, show the Contract Tools pane, click the Preferences button, and then use the Highlighting & Underlining controls.

Note: Highlighting and underlining do not change your document in any way.

In addition to highlighting items you select, you can use the Context button and the Previous and Next buttons to work with items you select; see The Context Button; the Previous and Next Buttons to learn how.

To troubleshoot problems with highlighting appearing in the wrong place, see The Contract Tools Pane Appears with Black Shapes; Highlighting Is Misplaced.
