Highlight tool doesn't work

I'm trying to use the highlight text tool to color text in a text box. When I select the tool, and drag it across my text nothing happens. I think the problem lies in the fact that I created a text box and the text I want to highlight is in the "options" section of the textbox properties as the "default value". I can highlight other parts of my document just fine, it's only this section that is the default value of a text box. Thanks for any help you can give.

A text box is a comment tool just like highlighting and you can not stack them. But you can put a border around a text box.
