Default Footer is highlighted gray in normal view and unreadable

Footers created in viewheader and footerinsert auto text appear with gray
highlighting, which obscures the grayed footer text in the normal view.
Footer text is visible in print preview mode only. How can the highlighting
be removed?

Sounds like it's a field. On the View tab of Tools | Options, set field
shading to "Never" or "When selected."
