Can't remove highlight
Maybe the color has been applied as shading and not as highlight. Try whether
you can remove the color via Format Borders and Shading Shading tab. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "suroora" wrote: I can't remove the highlighting from certain sections in my word document - I've tried selecting and highlighting all the text and then removing the highlighting, but these sections stay yellow.

Can't remove highlight
I have same problem. Tried clearning the shading and the highlighting and
neither works. My text still stays highlighted. When I "reveal formatting" under the font section is stays "Shading: Clear (Yellow)". So I'm selecting clear for shading but it's leaving it yellow anyway? I don't understand. Does it have to do with the fact that it's a bulleted list? I'm just baffled.

Can't remove highlight
Is it possible that the document has been Protected & that the Shading is an
attribute of a Style you don't have permission to modify? Go to the Review Tab, click the Protect Document button & see what the Task Pane has to say. You may be able to remove the Shading by applying a different Style. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "Cubbie_Gal" wrote in message ... I have same problem.

Clear just means that there's no pattern. It also means that what you're
seeing is not highlighting (which you would remove by selecting None for highlighting) but shading. Go to Format | Borders and Shading and choose No Fill on the Shading tab. -- Suzanne S.

Can't remove highlight
I'm seeing the same problem... It's in a table, and any text that is entered
appears highlighted with yellow. I've set "No Fill"; I've set "Shading" to "Clear"; Reveal Codes shows: Pattern: Clear (Yellow) - Clear There doesn't appear to be any document Protection in effect. The entire table (3col x 17rows) has the same attributes. I also tried: "Table Properties" | "Borders & Shading" | It's also set to: Fill: No Fill Pattern: Clear Apply to: Table "Cubbie_Gal" wrote: I have same problem.

Can't remove highlight
I had a similar problem.
What I did was I copied a text from another cell that was not highlighted and pasted it on the highlighted cell. The new text pasted did not have any highlight so I can just modify the contents to match the previously highlighted text.

Hi,
I can't remove the highlighting from certain sections in my word document - I had a similar problem. What I did was I copied a text from another cell that was not highlighted and pasted it on the highlighted cell. The new text pasted did not have any highlight so I can just modify the contents to match the previously highlighted text. may be, the text is not "highlighted". Instead, a shadow has been applied (Borders and Shading). -- Cheers, Lisa |

Look on the right to see if a comment has been linked to the highlighted text. If so, then the only way to remove the highlight is to "resolve" or delete the comment. This was the case of my frustration until I relized it. |

Can't remove highlight
Highlighting applied via the Highlighting tool on the Home tab can be
removed as follows: Select the whole document by pressing Ctrl+A and then click the arrow on the Text Highlight Color button and choose the "No Color." To remove font and paragraph shading you can run the following macro: Sub ClearAllShadingFromDoc() 'Macro created by Stefan Blom, MVP, January 2015 With ActiveDocument.Content.ParagraphFormat.Shading .Texture = wdTextureNone .ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic .BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic End With With ActiveDocument.Content.Font.Shading .Texture = wdTextureNone .ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic .BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic End With End Sub For assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Finally, an easy solution! I didn't even realize I had a light shading on until I got counted off on one of my papers. I realized it was a shading issue, but you cannot un-shade the entire document at one. Word forces you to highlight each shaded portion at a time. Any non-shaded characters or spaces that you highlight will prevent Word from removing the shading from the entire document if there are any breaks in it. This macro gets around that easily! |

Can't remove highlight
As I was typing on google keep (a google app that you can utilize for notes and things to do that you need to remember) I accidentally hit some buttons and it highlighted every letter or space I clicked on. If you have this problem, simply click caps lock and then click it again to turn caps lock off and then type again. This will disable the highlight mode. Hopefully this works for you and if not I hope you find another way that will help you solve this problem. - AW
