SEMI-TRANSPARENT HIGHLIGHTING OF SELECTED OBJECTS IN ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS

摘要

Highlighting selected objects in an electronic document is provided in a manner such that a highlighted object maintains coloring and formatting properties to allow for a maintenance of visual fidelity with a pre highlighted view of the highlighted object and that allows for a semi transparent background underneath a highlighted object that allows a user to see and appreciate the coloring and any visual properties applied to the background underneath the highlighting applied to the selected object.
