fixing hihglights

[exciter]

I have tables pasted in ON.
I highlight numbers on the pasted picture.
When I move the picture, the highlights do not move with it.
Is there a way to fix highlight on the document marked?

In ON 2003
or
In ON 2007?

2003 - annotations made on an image are separate and must be moved
separately.

2007 - the same situation applies to pictures, but if you import the table
as a table (a new datatype supported in 2007) you should be able to aply
formatting and Ink and Tags to the elements in the table and those will
stay with the content if the table is moved.

which means that I simply can not do either in 2003 or 2007
what I want.
Maybe this feature can be added.

Moving the picture and the container with the highlighting in it separate,
while a PITA, is a way to do what you want.

Did not quite get it Ben, sorry.
Can you rephrase what you mean.
What is PITA by the way?
Thanx in advance.

Highlights et by the text's background, yes.
But highlights set with the highlighter brush?
AFAICS not.

what is a lasso tool?

what is a lasso tool?

The icon in the toolbar showing a lasso calls a tool which allows for
circling around over objects/items and mark them.

I'm Erik, not Ben.


Sorry about the acronym. PITA = "Pain in the {Neck}"

That's actually a great workaround!

I am extremly sorry but I really do not get what a lasso is.
This is bec my eng. is not good I guess.
Do u by chance mean the type select tool or something

By the way I fond another good solution for my problem.
I highlitht the parts of the pictre format table.
And then make a screen clipping and paste it over.
=)

P.S: i use ON 2003

Thereis no lasso tool in ON2003 (it was added in ON2007). It is indeed a
selection tool whose icon looks like a loop on the end of a rope. It is
used on farms, etc. to capture cows and horses. You throw the rope and
try to hook the loop on the animal's neck so you can reign them in. It
might be a Western US thing.

The lasso tool in ON2007 is a way to select an irregular-shaped amount of
data.
