Select the text you want to add a note to.
Select Add Note to Selected Text from the shortcut menu.

The text gets highlighted and a pop-up Highlight Note box appears.
Enter the text in the box. If the comment text window is not shown by default, just double-click the markup area and it will pop up.

Highlight, underline, or cross-out selected text

Select the text you want to mark.

Mark up searched strings

An efficient way to mark up certain words or phases in a longer document is to do this by searching

You receive a list of occurrences; click an entry to view its location on the page. Select which of them to mark and which marking to use: Highlight, Cross-out or Underline. Only one marking type can be chosen at a time; to apply a different marking to some occurrences, perform a new search.

For detailed instructions, see Search and markup text.
