I've searched and searched and can't find it.

All I want to know is what keyboard shortcut do you press to highligh
the selected text so you don't have to press the button on th
toolbar.

Can anyone help?

Plus if you know of a link to a great list of ALL Excel shortcuts tha
would be great.

Thanks
 
Hi phipywr!

Here's three links:

Chip Pearson:
http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ShortCuts.htm

Dave McRitchie:
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/shortx2k.htm#calc

And try using Help. Search on Keyboard Shortcuts.

I don't know one for what you want to do other than the general Shift
and Ctrl approaches to selecting cells.

I can't find a keyboard shortcut for what you wanted, but you could record a very simple macro
When you go to create it, just assign a keybooard shortcut
Just start the recorder and apply a color to the currenly selected cell
This is what I got

Sub CellShadingYellow(
With Selection.Interio
.ColorIndex =
.Pattern = xlSoli
End Wit
End Su

For my Excel 6 = yellow

Hi!

It's a bad time of night to get into semantics but: what do _you_ mea
by "highlight"? And what is " the button on the toolbar"?
Could we be at cross-purposes?
