Yup. HTML is definitely the way to go. Good decision!

Sometimes it takes some time to understand, what is better or works better for me!

If you want to put a background color under ALL of the text, not just a single word, you can do it.

With the Text tool, drag to create a text area and type your text. With the tip of Direct Selection tool, carefully select the edge of the area. Now when you apply a color it will be applied to the whole area instead of the type.

Hi Barbara

thank you for replay.

I understand, but can I save a file .idnn as a file html?

You can export an InDesign file as HTML, however your special highlighted word will display as a plain underline in HTML.

That is a feature that InDesign has. Illustrator does not have that feature. In Illustrator you would need to draw a separate rectangle and position it underneath the text.
