Text shading is applied with the "paint can" button in the Paragraph section
of the Home ribbon. To make it easier, though, download the Highlighter
add-in from
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Highlighter.htm.

I am sure that I pressed the highlight arrow, but even if not, how do
I get access to text shading instead? (I don't get any help on text
shading when pressing F1; I only get the same help text as text
highlighting.)

You probably used text shading rather than the Highlighter, which
has never offered more colors than those you see now.

Great question! I have a similar one. At my work, we have just
moved to Word
2007, and the first highlighting that I did was by pressing on the
arrow beside the highlight tool and I was offered the same colour
options as are available under font colour. It was great and I
highlighted a section with a
nice light shade of grey, but the next time I pressed on the
highlighter I only got the normal 15 harsher colours. If it
happened once, it surely should
be possible at other times. Can any experts tell me how?

that are in
the highlight menu. The existing colours are either too dark or
too harsh
and bright. Is there a way new colours can be added or the
existing colors
edited?
