Hey. I have a question that someone here might be able to figure out. In Microsoft Word, is there a way to change the black fonts to another color like red. I would want this to be apply while I am grading papers. The reason is that I am grading TOEFL writing papers and the constant going back and highlighting mistakes is ruining my day. It takes too long and it is a true headache. Any help would be appreciated.

Should be easy enough...I'm at work just now and Word is in Korean so I can't tell you exactly where to find it, but somewhere under the font settings I would guess. Just highlight the section you want and change the colour...In Microsoft Word here, it's in the toolbar at the top. Has some writing and a colour underneath...highlight, click...

I am assuming your using word in English

Look for an icon top right with the letter A.

Click it and choose desired color.

Highlight the word to cahnge and click that button to change the color.

Next to it is a highlight button. For highlighting.

If you cant see the 'A' Icon, right click next to the menu bars and choose the second option (Formatting) It should appear after that.

On the Format menu, click Styles and Formatting.

(Begin shortcut key combinations with CTRL, ALT, or a function key.)

1. In the Styles and Formatting task pane, click New Style.
2. Use the options in the New Style dialog box to define the name of and formatting for the new style.
3. Click Format, and then click Shortcut key.
4. Click the Press new shortcut key box and then press the shortcut key combination you want to assign. For example, press ALT plus the desired key.
5. Look at Currently assigned to to see if the shortcut key combination is already assigned. If so, select another combination.
6. Click Assign, and then click Close.

You could do that, but for grading it's better to use the comment feature (assuming that you're writing comments) because it highlights the selected area and gives you place to type either a correction or an indication of what's wrong.

Tractor,
Thanks for the info. That seems to work well. You have saved me a great deal of time. I appreciate it.
