Have you read the chapter on styles in the Getting Started Guide at
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/index.html? It will explain
why styles are so very important for OOo Writer use.
When you use the highlight icon in the toolbar, you are adding the
highlight manually. That is why there is no toggling of it. When
applying highlighting by using styles, there is a way to toggle it by
merely changing one characteristic of the style.
As a side issue, do you know of anyone who could translate some of
the newer user's guides from English to Korean? We could sure use them
at www.oooauthors.org.
