To stop highlighting text or graphics, select the highlighted text and choose the "Stop Highlighting" option, or press the Esc key. This is the most direct method.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Select the Highlighted Text: First, click and drag your mouse or use your keyboard to select the specific text or graphic that is currently highlighted.
-
Choose "Stop Highlighting": The location of this option depends on the program you're using. Possible locations include:
- In a toolbar: Look for a highlighting icon (often a pen or marker) and a "Stop Highlighting" or "Remove Highlighting" option.
- In a menu: Check the "Format," "Review," or similar menu options.
-
Press the Esc Key: In some programs, pressing the "Esc" (Escape) key after selecting the highlighted text will remove the highlighting.
Essentially, you need to select the highlighted area and then activate a command that removes the highlighting effect. The specific steps vary depending on the application you are using.
