Their's sometimes uses both boxes and arrows, which is a bit cluttered. (page 20) The numbering could be useful, but again, may just be more of a clutter.

Red, yellow, or blue may be good choices. -Andrew On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 3:27 PM, Tony Pursell <a...@princeswalk.fsnet.co.uk>wrote: > >> >> >> On 17 May 2012 08:37, Thorsten Wilms <t...@freenet.de> wrote: >> >>> On 05/16/2012 07:21 PM, Andrew Montag wrote: >>> >>>> I think it may be useful to highlight portions of screenshots.
