Default How do I remove yellow background behind text?

That did not work. It is only part of the cells that are yellow. It looks
like a reviewing highlight, or an invisible text box.

Someone sent me text that had a light yellow background, in a table. How
do I
remove the yellow? The format paintbrush does not work.

Possibly the shading is applied to the text rather than the table cell? What
happens if you select the text and press Ctrl+Spacebar?
