I have done a bit of searching and cannot find a keyboard shortcut for this command in Microsoft Word 2007. I am not talking about simply making a text selection. (that would be a no brainer) What I would like to do is select some text and toggle the background color so it appears as if it were marked with a yellow highlighter.
Is there any way to do this with a keyboard shortcut?

You can set them in Word Options, Customize, Keyboard Shortcuts.
Edit: Actually, it's already Ctrl + Alt + H.
4An alternative is to use Alt + H + I.
You can easily create your own macros for that, using the Word Macro recorder.
- highlight a word or phrase
- Start the macro recorder (Tools - Macro - Record new macro)
- assign the macro a name, define if it should be stored in Normal.dot or the current file, assign a keyboard shortcut (after all this, you'll close the dialogs and end up with a recording icon)
- format your selected text
- Stop the macro recorder
You can set them in Word Options, Customize, Keyboard Shortcuts.
Goto "Tools" menu and select "Highlight" option
Assign keyboard shortcut to it like "Ctrl+H"
First, you make sure you have the right color. Then highlight with your curser and press. Ctrl+ alt + H . After that, you can just highlight it with your cursor and tapped «Ctrl + alt + H ».
Use Alt+H+I to select the color to start with and then keep using that color with Ctrl+Alt+H till the time you need to change the color.
