With the other good advice given, I would suggest that this needs a bit 
of a rewrite - instead of highlighting
it is better to underline and maybe put an arrow in the margin to 
indicate what is being looked at within
the entire document. This goes for all photocopies and printouts.

Reason? When the documentation is scanned, either at Kingdom or at 
Laurel, the highlighted parts are
most often obscured rather than standing out - highlighter yellow is 
extremely bad for this and the other
colors are not much better. So the items that the submitter or assisting 
herald wants to call attention to
are not visible, which really does defeat the purpose!
