I've seen a couple of different ways to de-hilite text, but haven't seen anyone else mention that a processor friendly way to do this is to hilite a word or line that doesn't exist. Say that you had a field member with 70 words. You could do this...

hilite word 4 of field "eddie"
--hilites the fourth word
hilite word 100 of field "eddie"
--dehilites the fourth word (as it tries to hilite another, nonexistant word)

It's something to toy with.
