<p class="Paragraph">There are two different procedures for highlighting a text.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">If you click and hold down the mouse button (i.e. long click) on this icon, the <help:popup Id="65630" Eid="abreissleiste" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">floating toolbar</help:popup> will appear, where you can choose from the available background colors. When you have selected a color, it will appear as the background to the word at the cursor position. The currently selected color is the color of the icon.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">If you short-click the icon, the mouse pointer becomes a paint can. A gray vertical line appears below it, which you can use to select a text area as you would with a cursor. The area automatically becomes the color selected as a background on the <span class="T1">Highlighting</span> floating toolbar. The function remains active as long as the <span class="T1">Highlighting</span> icon is active or until you press Escape.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">If you select the <span class="T1">No Fill</span> entry on the <span class="T1">Highlighting</span> floating toolbar you can reset the background color again.</p>
