Default unable to remove highlight from text.

I'm working in a table in Word 2000 and have certain lines of text
highlighted in yellow. But when I try to remove the highlight, it doesn't
work. I select the text and hit the highlight/no highlight button, but it
stays yellow. I have also done a ctrl-A to select the entire document and hit
the highlight/no highlight button, but when I click off of it, the same lines
are left with the yellow highlight. Any suggestions?

What you are seeing probably isn't highlighting but text (or
paragraph) shading. To remove it, select the text and, on the Format
menu, click Borders and Shading. Click the Shading tab. Click the "No
Fill" option and then click OK. Alternatively, press Ctrl+SpaceBar to
remove all font formatting not in style. (If the formatting comes from
a paragraph style, you would have to modify it to get rid of the
shading.)
