Black text with colored background

I need to have some black text with colored background but am at a loss as to how to code this. Have not been able to locate any examples. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!:yes

You really haven't given us much to go on. You might try something based on:

Code:

---

Sub Demo()
With Selection
  .Font.ColorIndex = wdBlack
  .Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
End With
End Sub

---

Thank you Paul! I know I didn't give much to go on, but what you gave was what I needed. Thanks again!
