Add Paragraph Shading?

Highlight the text to which you want to add shading, and then put a check mark next to Shading in the Paragraph panel. Use the Shading pop-up menu to choose your color. It’s as simple as that! This is great for making text stand out in a document. Maybe you have some callout text you’d like to highlight or a tip you want to emphasize. You can also add a border to your shading by checking the Border box and choosing a color from the pop-up menu.
