Changing 'Highlight" color
When I select the 'Highlight' icon, I find I only have 15 colors, none of
which are really the primary colors. Is there some way to get more colors, such as what is available at the adjacent 'Font Color' option? Thx Dave Win XP SP2 Word (Office) 2003 |

No, but you can apply shading (24-bit color choices) to selected text. You
can even save a specific shading color as a character style. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Dave" wrote in message ...

Well l l l l l l l l l l
Thanks everybody, but I think I'll leave it as-is. It's interesting to note, though, that we have 40 colors in Excel. Oh well! Dave "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

I don't see that Excel has any highlighter tool at all. It has cell shading,
which is *limited* to 40 colors (as is the font color), as compared to the millions of colors available for shading in Word. -- Suzanne S.

Almost semantics -
Excel calls it Fill Color, but whatever you call it, it provides a colored background for text, which was my objective. Only difference is each cell is rectangular by definition Dave. "Suzanne S.

Changing 'Highlight" color
But the equivalent of Fill Color in Excel (as you can see from the paint can
icon) is Shading (and Fill Color for AutoShapes) in Word, and this shading can be applied to selected text as well as to table cells and paragraphs. -- Suzanne S.
