Hello Everyone

In my old version (2000?) of work I was able to set up macros to turn on
highlighting of different colors- having toolbar macros called "Green"
"yellow" "red"etc.

But I can't seem to do it in word 2003. I've tried importing my old macros
and rerecroding as well. It just won't turn on the highlighting. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Can you post an example of a macro that doesn't work?

Yes, Tony

Here is what the recorder did when I tried to set it up.

Sub Green()
'
' Green Macro
' Macro recorded 1/31/2007 by
'
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
End Sub

It doesn't work to activate green highlighting; nor does it turn selected
text green.
here is one that definitely ran on office 2000 that doesn't work on Word
2003. It actually brings up "find and replace," oddly, as do all my other
old highlighter macros!

Sub Red()
'
' Red Macro
' Macro recorded 01/06/2004 by Anthony Giorgianni
'
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdRed
SendKeys "{F5}"
End Sub

The Macro recorder, unfortunately, is not perfect. All that does is set the
default highlight colour; to apply it to the selection you need:

Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdGreen

You don't actually need to set the default colour; the above line is all you
need and it will highlight the selcted text in the given colour (green in
this example).

I don't understand the Find and Replace bit, sorry.

Thank you both. Works well. Now to finish it, how do I just turn on
highlighting tool with the appropriate color so that I can go highlighting
things without selecting them first?

Not sure about not selecting them first but the recorded code you posted
should change the default on the toolbar button

The following macro will change the highlight color of the selection to red -
it does not change the color selected in the Highlight icon in the Formatting
toolbar:

Sub HighLight_Red()
Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdRed
End Sub

If you want to change the color selected in the Highlight icon too, add the
following code line to the macro:

Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdRed

Replace wdRed by the desired WdColorIndex.
