Create keyboard shortcut to "highlight" selected text in Word 2011 (Mac)

March 19, 2013 9:18 AM

I have successfully created a keyboard shortcut to insert a new comment using the Tools > Customize Keyboard menu in Word. (I assigned it to Cmd+7, which is unassigned.) I want to highlight selected text yellow using Cmd+9, which is also unassigned. The same process won't work, and I can't seem to record a macro to do this either. Any Word Wizards/Wizardesses able to help? Many huge thanks in advance.

I just tried recording that as a quick macro and it worked for me. Maybe try it in a new document, or reboot Word?
