I am so grateful for these responses. Clearly I am not communicating. This one is hard to describe.
1. I highlight a word in let's say YELLOW
2. I continue writing and come to a place where I want to highlight another word in YELLOW. It will not let me. If I click on Yellow again, and go back to the text, it has NOT BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW. It has NO highlighting.
3. If I want YELLOW, I have to click on let's say GREEN. Then come back and click on yellow and it works.
4. I use about 4 colors. But may use yellow for four consecutive selections. Each time, I have to select a different color then come back to yellow. (the
color I choose makes no difference.)
I hope that helps.

Yes I understand, and if you read what I said that is what I did.
Just in case you meant that this is a problem while you type fresh words, I did that too and I can not reproduce your problem. In every case I have tried whether with swatches or color wheel, I can repeat the same highlight color, I can use different highlight colors, I can use no highlight color.
I tried it in Textboxes, I tried it in Tables, I tried it in Headers and Footers. Even in a Chart where Pages 5.6.1 calls it "Background Fill" just to be inconsistent.
It works.
I can not reproduce your problem.
The Character Style I would have thought was a given, but unnecessary, unless you want to use an f Key shortcut to save digging through Pages 5.6.1's arcane User Interface.
