highlighting problem
Suzanne,
I am having the same issue where I can't get rid of the highlighting on some text. Can you retype what you told that other person regarding this. I cannot find your original answer. Something about borders and shading. I tried doing that but it didn't change anything.

I can select the yellow highlighted words, and then highlight them with some other color, and also un-highlight them, but the yellow highlighting still remains. Which leads me to believe it is some kind of formatting issue. I've also tried to copy-and-paste the document (and also portions of it) into a new document, but that doesn't get rid of the highlighting either. Will appreciate any help on getting rid of the highlighting (and possibly an explanation of the reason) and make the document appear normal. Thanks! -Amit |

highlighting problem
I have had the same issue in the past. I found out that the paragraph mark
at the end of my paragraph was what needed to be unhighlighted. Also if you have styles in your document make sure it's not applied to your header. "Eliza" wrote in message ...

If font shading is the issue, then the macro you have reproduced from the
thread will remove it. If you don't know what to do with the code - see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub NoFontShading() Application.ScreenUpdating = False Selection.WholeStory With Selection.Font.Shading .Texture = wdTextureNone .ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic .BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic End With Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Eliza wrote: Suzanne, I am having the same issue where I can't get rid of the highlighting on some text.

highlighting problem
In one previous example (the one Sara is talking about), the problem was
highlighting of auto numbering. This can be removed by clearing the formatting on the paragraph mark at the end of the paragraph. I think your problem, however, may be that the "highlighting" is actually text shading. If that's the case, select the text, go to Format | Borders and Shading, and select No Fill on the Shading tab. -- Suzanne S.

highlighting problem
I cannot get the highlighting off some of my bullets. I've tried the
boarders & shading advice but it does not work. There are only about 3-4 bullets but I have to remove them.....will the macro help me? or is there another reason? -- Dale "Suzanne S.
