Generally, you cannot manipulate the text on a Web page, including
highlightibng. I don't know of any browser that allows this.
Note that a PDF file downloaded from a Web server is NOT a Web page even
when it is displayed in a browser. The ability to highlight text on a
PDF file is a function of Adobe Reader or whatever application you are
using to view the PDF file. If you are doing this in a browser, it is
actually being done by the plugin provided by Adobe Reader or other
application, not by the browser. Similarly with a Word file (e.g.,
.doc, .docx) and some other non-HTML files.
My comments above reflect my thought that the OP wanted to highlight
text the way hard copy text can be highlighted with a felt-tip marker.
Word and Adobe Reader have that capability for electronic text.
Well, from the OP's post I can only guess at what he wants to do. So,
OP? Chime in and explain yourself - we're all just spinning our wheels
here until you do.
