You could try changing '.HighlightColorIndex' to '.Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex'. I'm not sure how well that will work with coloured fonts, though.

Thanks again. Really appreciate your help

That one made a black box around the text. I think it's easier to use two macros. One for font color, and one for page/background color. Manually I can change the background color. My Office is not in english, so I don't know the english button label, but maybe something like "page color / fill color". This button changes the color for the whole page, as if i could print a yellow page.

Is there a macro for changing between Yellow, White and Black fill color on same short key, just like the font color?
