Answer 2

Microsoft Word Help tells you about Highlighting text. Here is an extract:
Use the Highlight tool to mark and find important text in your document. Highlighting parts of a document works best when the document is viewed online.

Apply highlighting
On the Formatting toolbar, click Highlight.
Select the text or graphic you want to highlight.
To turn off highlighting, click the button again, or press ESC.
Note To change the highlighter color, click the arrow next to Highlight, and click the color you want. When you highlight parts of a document that you intend to print, use a light color if you're using a monochrome or dot-matrix printer.

Remove highlighting from part or all of a document
Select the text you want to remove highlighting from, or press CTRL+A to select all of the text in the document.
On the Formatting toolbar, click the arrow next to Highlight, and then click None.

Quickly find highlighted text
On the Edit menu, click Find.
If you don't see the Format button, click More.
Click Format, and then click Highlight.
Click Find Next.

Note You can display or hide highlighting (but not the text itself) on the screen and in the printed document by clicking Options on the Tools menu and then selecting or clearing the Highlight check box on the View tab.

Answer 3

Well, on my version of word, up on the toolbar I have Bold, Underline, Italic, then some alignment buttons to the right of those, then the numbering and bullets buttons, then border.. and then the next button is highlight.

So, highlight your text with the mouse and click the button, or if you want to choose your colour, click the drop down arrow on the right side of the button.

Job done.

Enjoy.
