Word 2007 - word or phrase selection highlight colour

In Word 2007, one selects the characters in a document on which one wants to
perform a certain operation by click, hold and move the mouse.
This highlights the reuired text in a dirty mauve/blue colour.
Now, is there any way to change that highlight colour?

Since this is an operating system newsgroup if you don't get the answer here
please try a Word newsgroup. That's where the real Word experts hang out
anyway.
