Highlight sentences

Hi, is this the right place to post a feature request for IE8 final/next
release? If not, please pass my request on for me.

For me IE8 beta 2 is perfect, except there's one feature I would really like
to see. Basically, I want to be able to hold Ctrl (or some hotkey) and
highlight some text in yellow, and be able to highlight even more text in
yellow when repeated. This would be good for students, while writing a
report. As they do some research, they can highlight important parts of text
for their report.

I'm sorry, I thought I chose "Suggestions for Microsoft" when I made this
topic...

You did - it's just that the Help links for IE8 are directing everyone to
the wrong Newsgroup....
