Highlight text in Numbers on iPad

You can highlight text everywhere except in charts and table cells.

• Add a highlight: Select text, then tap Highlight.

• Remove a highlight: Double-tap the highlighted text, then tap Remove Highlight.

  Note: If the spreadsheet is shared with others, only you and the spreadsheet owner can delete your highlight. If someone else adds a comment to your highlight, the author name and color of the highlight changes to the comment’s author, and you can’t delete the comment.

Highlights added this way aren’t visible in printed or PDF documents. To add permanent highlights, see Add a background color to text.

1. Tap the highlighted text.

2. Tap “Add a comment,” then type your comment.

3. Tap Done.
