How do I get rid of background colour in Word?
I scanned in a document using ScanSnap, and converted it to a Word 2003 doc
using Abbyy FineReader for ScanSnap. It worked pretty well, but left patches of brown background behind some characters, presumably where it wasn't sure it had got it right. What I want to do now is search for characters with this background, change them or leave them, but get rid of the background colour either way. But I can find no way of doing this, or even of changing the background colour. If I change the characters concerned, the background colour stays. All I can do, which is pretty tedious, is to delete the character(s), plus the ones immediately before and after, then retype it all. Word Help is no good at all. I have emailed Abbyy supoort a coupl;e of times, they simply ignore me. Can anyone help, please? |

How do I get rid of background colour in Word?
Try this: click anywhere in the document; then hold down the Ctrl key and
hit, in succession, A, C, N, and V. This copies all the text from the problem document, opens a new document, and pastes the text. It just might work. "Noël Sant" wrote in message ...

It did what you might expect: copied the whole document to the clipboard and
then pasted it into a new document. Still with the occasional patches of brown background. I'm not sure what you expected to achieve. "Richard O.
