I forgot to mention the way to make accessing the highlighter in Final Draft a little easier. I’ve been using this shortcut for ages in version 7.

Go to: View > Toolbars > Customize > Keyboard.

In the “Commands” section enter CTRL + H. That way next time you want to highlight something you can use the CTRL H command as a shortcut to get you to the “Format” menu. Then it’s just a matter of choosing a colour from the drop-down box and clicking OK.
