Strange problem. Have you tried copying the entire content of the file into notepad and saving it as a txt file first? That will remove all unnecessary formatting. You can then open the txt file in word. Hopefully, the highlighting should disappear.

That appeared to work except that now all of the highlighting I had done on the original document file - is truly embedded - I can't get rid of it! I'm an expert Word user but have never run into this - can anyone help me?
