You can try a DYI experiment-- Scan a few pages on your own scanner in color, 300dpi, and then first see how it looks on your computer. Does it still have nice contrast on the screen? If so, try an OCR program on it.
Finereader 11 can do OCR in B/W mode and color mode. I wouldn't think that B/W mode would work very well with highlighted text. Color mode might.
