Thanks again Charles for your help.
While I was waiting for a reply I investigated Styles and was able to create a few that appear in the Styles menu (under Home Menu).


They work fine. After selecting the text I want highlighted I can then just select
the appropriate Style and the color changes.


However, being the curious person that I am, I still would like to know HOW I managed to get the following key sequences to change selected text to blue and black:


Ctrl-Shft-b (blue)
Ctrl-Shft-k (black)


Notice there is no Alt+H.
And there are no macros listed in Word.

Does anyone know:
1. How I could have accomplished this?
2. Where I could find the settings that show these key assignments (for blue/black)?
