SUMMARY
This article describes how to apply shading to one or more words within a paragraph.



MORE INFORMATION
In Word 97 for Windows, bordering and shading has been enhanced to enable you to easily border or shade a single word or several words.

Use the following method to shade a single word or several words:
 * 1) Select the words you want to shade.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Borders and Shading.
 * 3) Click the Shading tab.
 * 4) Select the shading color, style, and pattern you want. Under "Apply to", select Text.
 * 5) Click OK.

NOTE: In previous versions of Word, shading is not a paragraph format or character format. You cannot apply shading to a word by choosing Borders and Shading from the Format menu without affecting the entire paragraph, nor can you create a character style to apply the shading.
