@blinkErri @DarkScribe is right.
1. Select the text you want to have shading.
2. Format menu->Borders and shading->Shading.
In the shading tab, choose your fill and patterns, and then from the “Apply to” drop-down list, select the text (paragraph if you want the whole paragraph to have shading). Click OK.
