Tabpages, Area and Highlighting

In the Calc dialog Drawing style there are two tabpages, Area and Highlighting. Highlighting seems to be a stripped down version of the Area tab. What is the purpose of the Highlihgting tab?

Hi Kees
Highlight affects the background of a text object, while Area affects the whole drawing object.

To test, draw a shape in a spreadsheet, select it and write some text in the shape. In the Style window edit the Default style and change the colors for highlight and area.

Area is orange, highlight is purple.

Thanks Olivier.
This makes it clear to me.

Cheers,
