Shading words or paragraphs gives them a background color that updates when you switch to a different document theme. It's different from highlighting text, which has a very limited choice of colors, and doesn't update when you switch to another theme.

Select the word or paragraph that you want to apply shading to.

On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click the arrow next to Shading.

Under Theme Colors, click the color that you want to use to shade your selection.
