Is there a keyboard shortcut to highlight the selected text in MS Word 2007?

I have done a bit of searching and cannot find a keyboard shortcut for this command in Microsoft Word 2007. I am not talking about simply making a text selection. (that would be a no brainer) What I would like to do is select some text and toggle the background color so it appears as if it were marked with a yellow highlighter.

Is there any way to do this with a keyboard shortcut?

You can set them in Word Options, Customize, Keyboard Shortcuts.

Edit: Actually, it's already Ctrl + Alt + H.

An alternative is to use Alt + H + I.

You can set them in Word Options, Customize, Keyboard Shortcuts.

Goto "Tools" menu and select "Highlight" option

Assign keyboard shortcut to it like "Ctrl+H"
