Ink Highliting (not working well) this ones important.

[flibbertigibbet007]

I didn't like the way the highlite via the text worked, so I highlited the
text with INK.
Worked great until I edited the text, and the text that was highlighted
moved out of the ink "spot". Now I can't even find A way to select the ink
that is behind the text. So there *needs* to be a Ink Selection Tool,
seperate from Text Selection.
I know the program even thinks that one of my highlite strokes is a Dash,
because it's treating it like handwriting. But I can't select it to let it
know that it's not handwriting.
Ink needs to be "inline" with text. If text moves, so does the ink.

Since you used the pen to Ink the highlight, use the pen eraser (or eraser
icon on the toolbar) to erase the Inked highlighting. The Ink is a stroke
of the pen, especially when you're using it over either typed or converted
handwriting-to-text. You need to treat that "highlighting" as Ink.

You will note, too, if you use the Highlighter tool with a mouse, dragging
that over text you want highlighted, THAT will expand if you edit (add text)
or contract if you edit (delete text).

Thanks chris, that did work. But I still think my suggestion of keeping Ink
in line with text may be a good idea also. I mean if you're going to add
typing in between some writing, I think it would be nice to see the writing
move to make room for the typing, or move with it. For example, you can make
images part of the background, well then that should stay "Stationary" while
you're typing, as you type, annotate on top of the background. Then you have
images, that are part of the text that move with the text. Some of which
would still be able to be written on top of, but need to know when it's part
of the text, vs. when it's a lower level. OHHH. How about, you can write on
top of ink treated as images, but ink as handwriting moves with the flow of
text. (well that may not work either) because then you'd have to think about
the ink as image still moving with the text if it's highliting. I don't know
exactly, maybe other users can input about the way it should work. Or how you
could group it. I dunno.

All your analysis of how to do this or that is exactly why digital Ink and
text are two different items. And need to be treated differently, James.
