shortcut for color highlighting

[m_john]

I wonder if Word has any shortcut for highlight option in Standar
Toolbar.
My document has bunch of different color background highlight and
want to remove them as quick as I can

Highlighting is on the formatting toolbar. I don't know how much easier you
want it to be?

M_John,
Select all of your text, click on the arrow next to the highlighting button
and choose none. All of the highlighted text will be gone.
As Ann said no need for a shortcut.

Sorry for not being clear. I have a lot ( hundreds maybe) and it i
very inconvenience that I have to move my mouse back and forth . I
would be much easier if I just work on my keyboard

Greetings¡V
The Find dialog in Word 2003 (Ctrl+F) has a ¡§Search and Select All¡¨ option.
Activate that option, then choose ¡§Format | Highlighting¡¨ from the
¡§Advanced¡¨ options at the bottom of this same Find dialog.
When all the highlighted strings have been selected by Word, pull down the
menu attached to the ¡§Highlight¡¨ toolbar button. Select ¡§None¡¨ from the
menu.
All the highlighting found in the document will be removed automatically.
Cheers
Robert

Tools-->Customize. Click the Commands tab, then click the Keyboard button.
On the left, choose Format, on the right, choose Highlight. Assign a
shortcut key to it.

If you need to remove all highlighting within the whole main body of text
you can literally "select all text" (which is another meaning you could have
read into Luc's message response) by using the menu "Edit:Select All" or its
equivalent shortcut keys Control+a on WinWord or Command+a on MacWord. Then
all the text in the main body will be selected for the next step, which is
to use the format toolbar and choose highlight 'none.' That process will
remove any highlighting within the main body of text.
