Default MS Word should let me highlight & bold in ONE click

To make text stand out in a document that I'm saving on my hard drive, I can
highlight text with my mouse, then (a) make it bold, then (b) highlight it as
yellow. This requires 2 steps (a and b above), for each text I select with
my mouse, which might be 10 areas or more in a document. You also have to
"Bold" first, then "highlight". If you reverse the order, you have to
reselect the text. It would be nice to be able to define (bold, yellow
highlight), and then click a button that would do both of those functions
with a single click. Perhaps even more. Say if I wanted to also make it
super or sub script as well. In other words, being able to define how I want
text to look, assign that definition to a button on the toolbar, then all I
have to do is select the text with my mouse, then ONE click on the toolbar
button. Hope you agree this is a worth while feature. It helps me to both
boldface and yellow highlight areas in a document, so later when I open it
up, all the real important areas get my attention. If you respond to this,
please use my home e-mail at

Thanks!
