Removing highlighting

Hi,

Could anyone tell me the simplest way to remove highlighting? Intuitively, I feel that I ought to be able simply to reselect with the highlight tool, but that doesn't work. If there's a way to do it via the keyboard, that would be great.

Also, is there any way to highlight already selected text? If I have text selected that I want to highlight, when I select the highlight tool, the text is deselected. Again, anyway to do this via the keyboard would be ideal.

Thanks,
JB

To delete an annotation you can just select it with the hand tool (probably with other tools as well) and press Delete.
