I read the OR as another way to change the fill color--not as another
suggestion.

Yup........that's why I suggested it as "OR"....if the font size is
increased a couple of points and the color changed to RED it makes it a
pretty good substitute for a "highlighter swipe"

But that is the font color--not the fill color (background).

Or, just select the word Saturday in the formula bar and change it's
font
color and/or size to be different than the rest of the string........

It's not possible to change the fill color this way.

But you could put a rectangle from the Drawing Toolbar over the word,
remove the
border and color it green. But it's an ugly workaround.

So sorry, I messed up my previous post. I would like to highlight
the
background of one word only contained in a cell. For example, my
cell
content is: Today is Saturday. I want the word Saturday to appear
with
a
green background (as if I manually highlighted it with a marker).
Can
anyone
tell me how to do this? Thank you!
