Info

Documents found as part of a full-text search in the Thereforeā„¢ Navigator will automatically have the search term(s) highlighted when opened in the Thereforeā„¢ Viewer.

Hit highlighting works for most text-based file formats. Image-based formats such as TIFF and Image PDF do not support this feature.

Multiple hit highlighting is only supported for Microsoft Office documents displayed using the Thereforeā„¢ Multi-Format Viewer. When a search is performed, all matching hits will be immediately highlighted.
