Thanks so much. This helped.

The page number is a type of field, and what you are seeing is the
field shading. To turn it off: on the Tools menu, click Options. Click
the View tab. At "Field shading," choose "Never."

Note, however, that field shading doesn't print; it just helps you
identify fields in a document, which can be useful.

Page number in the header of a document displays with a grey
background. I
have tried to remove it by removing the highlight color, but it did
not help.
Also, when I send the document to my colleague, the background of
the page
number dissapears. This only happens in documents when opened in MS
Word on
my computer.
