Highlight text in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1?

I'm designing an email in Dreamweaver and the writer wants a sentence in the body to appear as if it's highlighted. How do I do this? THANKS!

(My experience level with html is slight—when tasked with an email design, I like do what I can in Dreamweaver before handing the file over to our busy developer. He appreciates any effort!)

Hi,

you can set the highlighted text in a span, and give it a background-color

Your HTML:

<span class="highlighted">text you want to be highlighted</span>

Your CSS:

.highlighted{
   background-color:#color ; // hexadecimal is best; #000000 (black etc)
}
