Hey Colen,

Not to worry, it turns out there is "a" solution. Not the optimal solution but it works.

If you are using Adobe Reader X (version 10.0.1) it has a highlighting feature. So, you save your character as a PDF with Hero Lab. Then you open the character using Adobe Reader X and highlight what you wish (you can choose various colors once you highlight the text & then right-click-properties) and once done highlighting, you can save the file either with a new name or overwrite the HL PDF.

Alas, you will have to do this every time you update your character in HL but hey, it's better than nothing.

Keep up the good work and thanks for not forgetting about this.
