Hi everyone,
I want to add a column to the below text to track text that is highlighted and the colour I highlighted in. For instance, I will highlight texts "green" and want the below table to track that the text was highlighted and in green. How would I do this? HELP, please!!

Code:
Sub CODINGText()
Dim oDoc As Document
Dim oNewDoc As Document
Dim oTable As Table
Dim nCount As Long
Dim n As Long
Dim Title As String
Title = "Extract All Comments to New Document"
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
nCount = ActiveDocument.Comments.Count
If nCount = 0 Then
MsgBox "The active document contains no comments.", vbOKOnly, Title
GoTo ExitHere
Else
'Stop if user does not click Yes
If MsgBox("Do you want to extract all comments to a new document?", _
vbYesNo + vbQuestion, Title) <> vbYes Then
GoTo ExitHere
