IBM® SPSS® Amos™ 28

You can choose to highlight all occurrences of a variable name or parameter name that is pointed to by the cursor1. Then, for example, if you click the variable name "verbal", so that the cursor moves to that variable name, all occurrences of "verbal" will be highlighted.

To highlight all occurrences of the name that the cursor is in:

1.Select Matching strings in the Syntax highlighting list box.

2.Specify how you want to highlight matching strings by clicking the following controls:

oForeground color (check box and button)

oBackground color (check box and button)

oBold (check box)

oItalic (check box)

oUnderline (check box)

oBorder (check box)

You might notice a check box just to the left of Matching strings in the Syntax highlighting list box. You cannot directly add or remove a check mark there. Amos puts a check mark there when you have chosen to highlight matching strings in some manner.

1The "cursor" in Amos's syntax editor is the blinking vertical bar that shows the point in the text where characters you type at the keyboard will be inserted. You can move the cursor to a new location by clicking that location with the mouse or by using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
