There is not a highlighter tool in PowerPoint like there is for Word. You can get around it a couple of different ways. In 2002/2003 you can use the drawing tool to draw a rectangle around the text, no line, fill with yellow at 50%. It may appear dark on your computer screen, but looks like a nice highlight when you project it.
Also in 2003/2003 you may right click on the screen when you're in Slide Show mode and use one of the pen options to highlight the text during the actual presentation.

The usual workaround is to draw a rectangle that surrounds the text you want to highlight, send it behind the text. If the text isn't part of a placeholder, you might want to group it with the rectangle so the two stay together.
Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: PPTools: Sue Roberts 8/11/2004, 4:49 น. Acutally, there is a highlighter tool in PowerPoint 2003, but it doesn't function quite the same way as Word 2003. To access the highlighter tool, you have to go to the SlideShow View and then scroll to the slide that has the text you want to highlight. Then you will have to either right click and then click on Pointer Options-Highlighter or go to the bottom left screen and click on the Pen icon and then click on highlighter (the pen icon does not show until move onto the next slide).

Here’s how you can highlight text using this program. From the “Annotations” section, you’re also able to underline, overline and strikethrough text as you wish. Other amazing features include support for OCR, converting PDF files to various documents including Word, PowerPoint and Excel, managing PDF pages, and more. Using the Glow Text Effect to Highlight PowerPoint Text. Select the text that you want to emphasize. Under Drawing Tools, click the Format tab. Click Text Effects > Glow. Then choose a Glow Variation.
The highlighter tool will then act as a physical highlighter and you can now highlight text. To save your highlights, you will then have to 'End Show' or scroll until you exit your powerpoint presentation and then 'Keep' your ink annotations. After that, you can choose to 'Delete' your highlights the same you would delete a graphic as each stroke is saved as a graphic in your presentation. I hope that I helped someone out with this tip.
Echo S 13/4/2009, 7:03 น. There isn't a 'highlight' tool in PPT. There never really has been, so there's nothing to 'bring back.' The Help entry says there used to be an.on-screen. highlight tool in PPT 2003. This was a highlight that could be used during a presentation - like drawing on the screen - to point out something on the slide.
It's not something that could be used in Normal (editing) view, and it was nothing like the highlight tool that Word has. In my opinion, the preposition thing isn't something about which to get bent out of shape.

We're not help text writers. We're volunteers, not MS employees. 'Never end a sentence in a preposition! Try googling that very phrase.
I think you'll find a concensus that applying Latin grammar to the English language is foolishess up with which we should not put. 'Sue Roberts' wrote: I have a text box in a Powerpoint slide in which I would like to highlight just one sentence.

Thanks, Sue. PPT Frequently Asked Questions PPTools add-ins for PowerPoint Philmartin57 18/8/2009, 23:40 น. If you are using PPT 2007 or later then it is possible to get the highlight even though it is not available in the UI. Highlight the text in Word and then paste it into PowerPoint (keep source formatting). This will bring in the highlights also. The caveat is that there is no way to get rid of the highlight short of deleting the highlighted text. Regards, Shyam Pillai Handout Wizard: 'Dumbfounded' wrote in message news:[email protected].

Actually Rich it is quite proper to end a sentence with a preposition. It is something of an enduring myth that one shouldn't. It goes back to the teaching of Latin. So, while the text writers are quite fine with their grammar, you could use a brush up! 'Rich Craig' wrote: This DOES NOT work in PP2007 (12.0.6307.5000; it highlights the entire teat area.
