Yes, this was a typo. Sorry.

At the bottom of each page? That is difficult. You can try to set the contents
into a minipage into a float with b[ottom] placement. I don't know if that
method is save though. And the number of floats is limited:
\usepackage{ifthen}
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
\usepackage[dvips]{color}}
\newboolean{HIDE}
\newcommand\invisible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\begin{figure}[b]%
\begin{minipage}[c]{1.0\columnwidth}%
\color{white}
}{}}
\newcommand\visible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\end{minipage}%
\end{figure}
\color{black}
}{}}
Perhaps there are better solutions.
If you just want to comment out the contents, use the comment-environment:
\usepackage{ifthen}
\newboolean{HIDE}
\newcommand\invisible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\begin{comment}}{}}
\newcommand\visible
{\ifthenelse{\boolean{HIDE}}{%
\end{comment}}{}}

What do you mean by highlighted? You can certainly use any emphasizing method
and color or, if you want highlighted background, the soul package.
A gui element (button) for this is overloaded IMHO. It's not too difficult to
toggle the HIDE switch manually.
