How do I get additional highlight colors in Word
Hi gailcu,
Sorry, but you will have to work with the fifteen highlight colors that Microsoft provides. You cannot add your own (or delete any predefined). Good luck, Cooz -- PS: If this is a satisfying answer to your question and you're logged in via the Microsoft site, please click Yes to "Did this post answer the question?". Thanks.

Create a character style with a lighter shading colour and apply that
instead. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org gailcu wrote: Is it possible to get additional colors for highlighting in Word? I find in particular the yellow too bright and need a softer shade. Thanks |

How do I get additional highlight colors in Word
Thanks for your help. However, when I tried it, it gave me the option of
choosing font colors but not highlighting colors. Could you explain further? Thanks.

How do I get additional highlight colors in Word
Use shading instead. Select the text you want to shade, go the Format |
Borders and Shading, select the Shading tab, make sure "Apply to" is set to "Text," and select the desired shading. As Graham has suggested, if you define a character style with the desired shading, it will be easier to apply. Alternatively, if you display the Tables and Borders toolbar, the Shading Color button will apply the most recently selected shading color. -- Suzanne S.
