How to highlight text by changing background colour in Mail
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. Here's how I do it.
-
⌘ + T: to open up
Fontswindow - click on the document background color icon and
Colorswindow will open - choose the highlight background color you desire note:
- Note: this will change the background color of your entire email
- Select the text that you want highlighted and cut (⌘ + X)
- Go back to
Colorswindow and change background color of entire email back to original color (usually white). - Paste (⌘ + V) the text back into email, and you will see the text with your desired background color
