      Hi All!

      I’m trying to apply shading to just a selection of words/numbers (that are styled by a paragraph style) – but I can’t figure out how to do it.

      Use example:

      I have the heading “100% increase in sessions year-on-year”

      I’d like to apply a coloured shading to 100% and change the text colour to white to highlight it.

      Am I missing something obvious in character styles?

      Many thanks for any pointers

      For your character style, you will make the text color white.

      Then you will go to your underline options and create your black rule. You will need to play with the height of the rule and the offset.
