How to Color and Highlight Text

You can color any text in your book, from a single word to a whole paragraph, and add a highlight behind it. Both controls live in the formatting toolbar that appears when you select text.

Color the Text

  1. Select the text you want to color, from one word to a full paragraph
  2. Click Text color in the formatting toolbar (the A with a color bar under it)
  3. Pick a color

To remove the color, open Text color again and choose No Color.

Highlight the Text

  1. Select the text you want to highlight
  2. Click Highlight color in the formatting toolbar (the highlighter icon)
  3. Pick a color

To remove the highlight, open Highlight color again and choose Transparent.

Coloring a Whole Paragraph

Both controls apply to whatever you have selected, so to color an entire paragraph, select all of it first. A highlight applied to a full paragraph fills the line behind the text, which is a simple way to call out a passage.
