Question about highlighted words - Ang


Posted: May 12, 2012

Anybody know why, after you've been typing a report in ASR that words show up with a yellow highlight?  It is usually just one or 2 words.  My understanding is that that means they are not paid?  Don't know if I am doing something while editing to provoke this and if so, what I'm doing.

What - system
