If what you want is shading or crosshatching behind your text, go to borders
and shading and select the shading tab. (Here's where my memory of W2003
screens fades a bit, so I'll just tell you what I see in W2007.) In W2007
there is a section called Patterns. In the selection box, scroll past the
percent gray selections to get to the crosshatching patterns.
Yes, you should be able to record a macro to do this quickly. Note, though,
that a macro set up to add crosshatching to a a regular text paragraph might
not work as expected in a table or text box.

I have Word 2003.
How do I add a pattern to selected text?
Is it possible to create a button on the toobar which gives access to
this quickly?
