Question: I seem to have coded my entire document and I can't figure out what I did. If I highlight all codes, the entire document is highlighted and the coding panel doesn't help. Any thoughts ?
It sounds like you are applying the highlighter incorrectly. Showing highlighting for all codes will highlight everything in the file because the entire file has been coded to a case, for example. You want to use the highlighting for selected items' option and then browse to the coding folder, or even specific codes in a folder if you wish to display highlighting coded to thematic codes only.
