VBA Powerpoint - How to highlight selected text

Question

I would like to highlight the selected text into a colour but this is not working. Could you help me with that ?

Sub ShadingLtYellow()
    ActiveWindow.Selecti         


        

Answer 1

TextRange is for backward compatibility with older versions of PowerPoint. With current versions (2010 and later), use the Textrange2 object instead, it has Highlight:

ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange2.Font.Highlight.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 175)
