Checkbox Highlight Option

In that case you will need a macro and a bookmark. Bookmark the text you want to highlight and call the Bookmark (say) BM1. Assuming the title of the checkbox control is Check1, the following macro goes in the ThisDocument module of the document. The macro files after you click outside the check box having checked or unchecked it.
You can add more case statements for other checkbox/bookmark combinations as required.

Code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal ContentControl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
    Select Case ContentControl.Title
        Case Is = "Check1"
            If ContentControl.Checked = True Then
                ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BM1").Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
            Else
                ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("BM1").Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdNoHighlight
            End If
    End Select
End Sub
