Remove Highlight

Word
Category: Proof-reading Back to Language Check section

Once the document has been checked using Check Translation and proofread by the translator, it's time to remove the highlights. This is where Remove Highlight is the best tool for the job - it removes all highlights of a particular colour in the entire document/selection (i.e. headers, footers, footnotes, comments, etc). If the original document contained highlights of a different color, they will be left untouched.

Options:

  1. Entire document - select this if you want to process text in the entire document (including headers / footers, textboxes, comments, footnotes / endnotes).
  2. Selection - select this if you want to process the selection only. The selection may be a block of text, multiple selections of text, a shape or a group of shapes.
  3. Highlight color - choose a pre-defined highlight colour which should be removed (i.e. words highlighted with that colour will be un-highlighted). This should be the same colour as the colour specified in Check Translation options.

When the appropriate options have been selected, click Continue. To exit, click Cancel.

The command's progress will be shown in Microsoft Word status bar at the bottom of the window (Please wait... 50% complete). Microsoft Word will not respond until the operation completes. If the operation takes too long (1 minute or longer) and the progress does not change, press Ctrl+Break combination to terminate the command's execution.

Notes:

  • Be careful to choose the same colour as the colour used when the document was checked with Check Translation command. Otherwise, it is possible that other highlights (perhaps those made by the author of the original document, which must be left intact) will be removed.
  • Sometimes original background colours (i.e. author's formatting) will be changed to new colours by Check Translation command. To restore the original highlight colours, consult the original document.
