Can you change the colors of MS Words highlighter?

[Draccius]

This is probably a very odd question, but does anyone know of a simple way to change one of the default highlighter colors in MS Word to orange?

I need to use pink, blue, and orange highlighter markings for a class assignment and, of course, MS Word doesn't have an orange highlighter.

Thanks for any assistance.

I donno about MS word, but my word proccessor has several hundred different shades of orange (among other colors) to choose from.

Oh, and it's completely Free. 😉

what version you using?

Ironically, Word 2003 has a bunch of colours to select from but no Orange 😛

There's no orange hi-light, but there's a way around it.

Select the word or phrase you want hi-lighted and then go to Format/Borders and Shading. Click on the Shading tab, click on the color you want to use, then click OK. Using that method you can even select custom colors to get the precise shades you want for your colors.

Hope that helps.

I know - I have Word 2003, as well. 12 options no orange. Orange is basic, dammit! 🙂

My professor is crazy, though, so it's kind of funny to watch her go nuts now that she realizes we don't have an orange highlighter. 🙂
