Remove Highlighting
Unless you have created a bunch on new buttons and put them on the
Formatting toolbar (where the highligher lives), then simplest thing
to do is probably to click Tools / Customize (or right click on the
toolbar area and choose the last option which is Customize). Click
the Toobar tab, highlight the Formatting toolbar and click Reset.
This will put the toolbar back to the out-of-box experience, which
includes the highligher.
Rather than customize the standard Word toolbars too much, it is
really easy to create your own toolbar and add the buttons you want to
it. Then you can right click on the toolbar area at the top of the
screen and deselect any of the Word toolbars you don't need and select
the one you created for yourself. It can save you in the long run.
