How do I create a "Highlight" keyboard shortcut in Word for Mac 2016?

I had a keyboard shortcut set up for this in Word 2011.  However, I am having trouble figuring it out in Word for Mac 2016.  This thread suggests doing so the usual way:

But "Highlight" does not seem to be a menu item in Word 2016, just "Highlight Changes" under Track Changes.  Searching "high..." only finds the Track Changes item.  When I try to use the "Customize Keyboard" tool, I can't find "Highlight" even with search.  See screen shots below.

    Select All Commands and then do your search.

    You'll find Highlight there.
