Is there a way I can change the highlight colors? Permanently?
Sometimes I use the ShadingColor paint-bucket option, but I find that
it will not work when I'm doing a find/replace. Highlighted colors
work with find/replace. But the colors are so strong/dark that I
cannot read the text through them.

So, how can I change the highlight colors? Is there a code somplace?

Sorry, no, the highlight colors are hard-coded in the program. What
you see is what you get.

You *can* use shading colors in find/replace if you define character
styles that consist of the default paragraph font plus the shading --
then you can search on the style.

Thanks for the idea--character styles w/shading. That will work.
