Is it possible to have duplicate toolbar buttons on display? I want to use
the highlight function and having buttons set to each of the colours I will
be using will be easier that changing the colour each time.

You can have duplicate buttons. However, in the case of the
highlighter, they will all use the same color, so your plan won't
work.

Instead, you need to create several macros like this one:

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

Make each one with a different name and matching color. Then assign a
separate button to each macro.
