To make writing stand out in notes, you can often change the color of the text. This method, as described in some note-taking environments, involves using formatting options to select and color the desired text.
Steps to Make Text Stand Out (Highlight) Using Color
Following the approach outlined in the reference, here is a common method to make your text visually distinct in a note-taking application that supports rich text formatting:
- Select the text you wish to emphasize. Use your mouse or keyboard to highlight the specific words, phrases, or sentences you want to make stand out.
- Navigate to the Format menu at the top of your screen. Most applications with text formatting options have a 'Format' menu in the main application menu bar.
- Choose Fonts > Show Colors. Within the 'Format' menu, look for a 'Fonts' submenu, and then select the option to 'Show Colors'. This action typically opens a color picker window.
- Select a color that will make your text stand out. Use the color picker to choose a color that contrasts well with the background and the surrounding text. Popular choices might include bright colors, but any distinct color will serve to emphasize the selected text.
Once you select a color, the text you highlighted in Step 1 will change to that color, effectively "highlighting" it by making it visually prominent within your notes. This method is particularly useful for drawing attention to key points, action items, or important details you want to easily find later.
