I have a document with several bulleted items. There are a couple lines where
the bullet number were highlighted. These two highlights seem to be random.

Of some 100 bullet lines, two are highlighted and I can't remove.

I've tried clearing the format then applying but it seems to continue.

Please advise

Manny:

The actual "highlighting" function does not depend on styles, but on a
separate tool. You may have to click the Highlight button, use the pull-down
list to set the highlight color to None, then swipe the text. You could also
use the format painter to copy the formatting from an unhighlighted item to a
highlighted item.

But you may not be seeing this kind of highlighting. Is the entire bulleted
item being highlighted, or just the actual bullet symbol?

If you click Tools Options View, what does the Field Shading list say?
If you change it to Never, does the highlighting go away?

That worked.

I figured the prvious author had highlighed the two sections I was having
trouble with. Then when we made changes and removed the highlight, the
removal did not carry to the bulleted area.

As you sugested I unchecked the Highlight field in the Options menu
