How Highlight color and Background Color differ
Highlight color and Background Color differ only slightly.
Figure 184
Highlight color and Background Color compared
• Each has a slightly different handling of newline/wrapped whitespace (as evident along the line
wrap areas of the text in Figure 184 above).
• Microsoft Word only recognizes Highlight colors and ignores Background Colors in RTF.
• TextEdit (and possibly other Apple RTF capable applications) only recognize Background Colors
and ignores Highlight colors in RTF.
• Predefined Highlight colors in Nisus Writer Express can be customized by the user.
• Microsoft Word 2004 does not allow arbitrary Highlight colors. If a user chooses a non-standard
color Word will show the “closest” color of those (16 illustrated in Figure 185) it allows.
