The technique discussed in this thread is for changing the colour of the cell itself, via highlighting. For that, you're limited to Word's highlight options, which don't include orange.

Another possibility is to colour the text itself - for which your options are virtually unlimited. See the relevant discussions in the Mailmerge Tips & Tricks thread: https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...ps-tricks.html
