- How is this different than inserting a Text Box? With a Text Box, you have a box of text that can be used as a callout, will move and allow the text around it to flow, and with the Object inspector, can have background fill, border effects, etc. (be sure to also use the Text inspector to adjust the inset margin so the text isn't overshadowed by any border effects).
- This gives you complete control over the exact highlight color your Mac will use, but because this gives you such a wide range of options, when using the color picker I recommend you follow these steps: 1. Open a few panels and windows containing text, and highlight the text in each. Position the panels and windows side-by-side.
