Highlight text in Numbers on Mac

1. Select the text you want to highlight.

2. Choose Insert > Highlight (from the Insert menu at the top of your screen).

   The Insert button on the Numbers toolbar doesn’t have the Highlight command.

You can’t highlight text in table cells, but you can add conditional highlighting to a cell to change a cell’s appearance based on its value.

1. Move the pointer over the highlighted text.

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

3. Click Done.

• Move the pointer over the highlighted text, then click Delete.

If the Delete button doesn't appear, that means the highlight was added as color behind the text. To remove it, remove the background color.
