So silly, right? Do you add a colored box behind the text to create the highlight effect? Or is there some other obvious tool that I’m missing? Thanks again!

Ah, I understand now. I didn’t use the Text Highlight tool. I don’t think there’s any way to change those bright, neon colors.

Yes, I am familiar with Theme Colors and have that set up, but that is not the color theme that shows up for my Text Highlight tool. My Text Highlight tool includes 15 default colors, one being that classic yellow highlighter color. Maybe there’s a way to customize the colors of the Text Highlight tool that I’m not aware of? Or maybe you’re using something other than the Text Highlight tool to highlight text? Thanks!

Are you familiar with setting up Theme Colors and Theme Fonts? If so, that’s a major time-saver. Theme Colors prevent us from having to choose from Recent Colors every time. I have video tutorials inside courses on how to do this, but no blog posts yet. You can simply google “How to set up Theme Colors in Excel” (or in Word, or PowerPoint) to learn how. It takes a few minutes to set up, and saves a lot of mouse-clicks in the long run. Let me know if that answers your question! Otherwise we can keep troubleshooting together.

You are excellent Ann at showing the viewer why color-coding phrasing works vs. using other options. Thank you!
