Updating existing VBA code to highlight cells

[hnt007]

Hello there! Thank you very much for helping me with this code. So I have this code to highlight words that are misspelled in red, but I would love to also have the cells that contain misspelled words turned "White, Background 1, 15% Darker" (see attached image).

Public Sub ThisOne()
Set MySheet = ActiveSheet

For Each MyCell In MySheet.Range("D8:D1000")
If MyCell.Value <> MyCell.Formula Then GoTo NextCell:
If Application.CheckSpelling(MyCell.Value) Then GoTo NextCell:

MySentence = " " & MyCell.Value
i = 2
While i < Len(MySentence)
If Mid(MySentence, i - 1, 1) = " " And Mid(MySentence, i, 1) <> "" Then
j = InStr(i, MySentence, " ") - 1
If j = -1 Then j = Len(MySentence)
MyWord = Mid(MySentence, i, j - i + 1)
If Not Application.CheckSpelling(MyWord) Then
With MyCell.Characters(Start:=i - 1, Length:=j - i + 1).Font
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End With
End If
i = j + 1
End If
i = i + 1
Wend

NextCell:
Next MyCell

End Sub

I found a solution, I'm adding a 2nd module with

Sub HighlightMissspelledCells()
    Dim rng As Range
    For Each rng In ActiveSheet.Range("D8:D1000")
        If Not Application.CheckSpelling(rng.Text) Then
            rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 15
        End If
    Next rng
End Sub

And I'm creating another code to run both macros at the same time. Thanks for all your help!

@hnt007 by the way, you know that ColorIIndex = 15 is not giving you "White, Background 1, 15% Darker" right ?
It is slightly darker and is RGB(192,192,192). It is very close but not exactly = "White, Background 1, 25% Darker" which is RGB(191,191,191)
