The background is almost certainly shading applied to the text paragraphs or
table cells.

Thank you Ms. Barnhill, but that didn't work. The backround is on two
pages
out of ten. It is light blue background only over the text. Again, do
you
think that because I copied from web site it caused the light blue
background? There has to be a way of getting rid of it.

I did that and the light blue watermark is on two pages of my 10 page
document. I did at one point copy some of the information from a web
site.
Do you think this is why that light blue background is there? I need
to
get
rid of it before I hand in the paper. I don't know what else to do...
