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.

I've tried selecting and highlighting all the text and then removing the
highlighting, but these sections stay yellow. Any suggestions?

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).

old post, i know, but maybe it has to do with the text being highlighted due to having a comment? 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.
