Default Remove Highlighting

Hi Tom,

You can do it a couple of ways in Word 2003.

You can select the highlighted text and use the Highlighting tool on the Formatting toolbar, one at a time, or you can use
Edit=Replace (Ctrl+H)

In the Find & Replace dialog select the
'Find What' box and click the [More]button then the
[Format] button and select Highlight.

In the 'replace with' box again select [Format] button and Highlight. Then repeat and you should see 'Not Highlight' appear.

Choose replace all and the highlighting should be gone.

Running Office 2003 under Win XP

I recently received a file that had some passaged highlighted in yellow.
When I was done what I was doing, I went to remove the highlighting. But I
had deleted the highlighting button from the button bar because I never
highlight things.

I was unable to find any menu command that would permit me to remove the
highlight. Is there one, and does anyone know where it is?

I ended up just deleting all of the text and typing it back in--an annoying
task.

Thanks for any help. Tom

Default Remove Highlighting

Unless you have created a bunch on new buttons and put them on the
Formatting toolbar (where the highligher lives), then simplest thing
to do is probably to click Tools / Customize (or right click on the
toolbar area and choose the last option which is Customize). Click
the Toobar tab, highlight the Formatting toolbar and click Reset.
This will put the toolbar back to the out-of-box experience, which
includes the highligher.

Rather than customize the standard Word toolbars too much, it is
really easy to create your own toolbar and add the buttons you want to
it. Then you can right click on the toolbar area at the top of the
screen and deselect any of the Word toolbars you don't need and select
the one you created for yourself. It can save you in the long run.
