in adobe XI, where is the option for copying selected text into highlighted text?

Go to menu Edit (Windows) or Acrobat (Mac) -> Preferences -> Commenting and enable "Copy selected text into Highlight, Striketrough, and Underline comment pop-ups" option.
The preference I mentioned in my previous answer is only available for Adobe Acrobat XI and not for free Adobe Reader, I am sorry. If you use free Adobe Reader XI you won't be able to copy selected text into highlighted text automatically.
