Can you automatically highlight multiple words in the document window to aid in grading essays?

Apps like Multi-highlight work in the Discussion Boards and Rubric Grading Pane but not in the student assignment document window (ctrl F will highlight one word at a time but as the Instructor I want to highlight 5-20 keywords at a time for grading purposes.).

Hi @tom9,

I stumbled on this unanswered question while doing a community cleanup.

As far as I know, the only way to do highlight annotations in Docviewer (the part of SpeedGrader where a word/pdf/etc submission is shown), is through clicking and dragging with the mouse.  I wish I had better news for you, but wanted to at least provide this info now.
