Someone suggested this would be a "macro"? I would like to use the same commands across all MS Word 2010 Documents.

I use some adjustments in the written text in certain documents for public speaking. For instance... if I want to have a section of text with multiple font adjustments, I need to make each of the individually. (Example: Instead on having plain text, I want a portion of text to be bold and italic and highlighted in yellow). Currently, this takes multiple steps... highlight text with mouse, control B, control U and then select yellow highlight. If I wish to have another portion of text with an additional group of font changes... (Example: bold, italic, underlined and highlighted green), it takes me five steps to accomplish this. Is there a method to achieve these two examples by simply highlighting with mouse and a simple... control Q (or whatever)?

Thank you for your help.
