I know that ctrl-alt-H is the highlight shortcut. Is there a shortcut that
gets the highlight dropdown with different colors? I am finding I like using
multiple colors, and am trying to learn as many shortcuts as I can (given I
type pretty fast and the mouse is just too far away), so getting the color to
change quickly would be great for reviewing docs.

Thx.

Hi Boris,

I don't know of any shortcut to display this, directly. But you can create a
little macro and assign a keyboard shortcut to that. The macro:

Sub ShowHighlightMenu
CommandBars("Formatting").Controls("Highlight").Ex ecute
End Sub
