Default Find Text - traffic light cell background color

Hi all, I have a word document that contains multiple tables, within the tables, there is a tolerance column that contains a text value - "Green, Amber or Red".

I am using the below code to find the above-mentioned text and change the cell backgrounds colour to match the text .e. Green text = Green background and so on.

I would appreciate some assistance with two issues:
1. merge the three codes into one, and
2. tweak the Amber code as there is no value for "wdOrange" for Amber text. This procedure clearly doesn't run as-is.


[Sub GreenText()

Dim r As Range
Set r = ActiveDocument.Range
With r.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="Green", MatchWholeWord:=True, Forward:=True) = True
r.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex = wdGreen
Loop

End With

End Sub]


[Sub AmberText()

Dim r As Range
Set r = ActiveDocument.Range
With r.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="Amber", MatchWholeWord:=True, Forward:=True) = True
r.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex = wdOrange
Loop

End With

End Sub]



[Sub RedText()

Dim r As Range
Set r = ActiveDocument.Range
With r.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="Red", MatchWholeWord:=True, Forward:=True) = True
r.Cells(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex = wdRed
Loop

End With

End Sub]



Appreciate any assistance
