It is actually easy to hilight.
1. Select a shape, like a rectangle
2. Draw the rectangle where you want it. Don't panic when part of the picture disappears.
3. Right click on the shape, select Format Shape (or select Format - Shape from the top)
4. Select Fill and change to a solid color, like the Standard Color Yellow. Change the Transparency to about 75%, and click OK
5. Click on Layout, and select "In front of text"
Copyand paste this shape to the various places on the picture.

I'd suggest a shape rather than a line (as suggested by Deepa), but you'd need to set some transparency. A better approach would be to use an application dedicated to taking screen shots. I recommend SnagIt by TechSmith. Not only does it have great tools for screen capture, it has an image editor that includes a highlighter among many other tools. You can get a free, fully functional trial version from http://www.techsmith.com/download/snagit/. Before the end of the 30-day trial period, I think you'll decide it's worth the purchase price.Microsoft's "Snipping Tool" also has a highlighter tool. The current version of their tool has been surprisingly satisfactory to me.
