[mso] Word 2000 highlighting

Hello.  If I have a table in Word, and select a color for the 
background (Say orange for example), that is not available in the 
colors for highlighting, is there some way to get the highlight to 
match the background?

This is for labels for folders, divided by color, and I tried making 
the background orange with the text black. It seems to want to 
'highlight' automatically, which wasn't a problem before.  If I had a 
blue background, I chose blue highlighting and white text.  But with 
orange, there is a problem it wants to make the background orange, 
text black, and highlight it in red.  That contrasts with the orange 
and doesn't look all that great. If I remove the highlighting, it 
makes the background black!  With black text, that is not readable.

Is there a way to make highlighting match the background color? I 
don't like VBA, but can it be done via VBA?

Thanks.

Robert
