Highlighting

Despite following the instructions I accessed through Help, I cannot seem to highlight documents that I have scanned and then run through OCR. What am I doing wrong?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

After scanning a document choose Document > OCR Text Recognition > and choose either Find First OCR Suspect or Find All OCR Suspects. Any words that Acrobat suspects as one that is not recognized properly should be highlighted with a keyline border. If no suspects are found, you'll see a dialog box opening informing you that there are no suspected words.ted

I can't highlight text in a document that I have scanned. I have the "highlight text" icon on my tool bar. However the other icons, such as text box, framing etc do work. What am I doing wrong?
