Hi again & thanks for the help. I have Word 2007,

The print preview does indeed display the grey background, and I cant find
anything in 'font' or 'paragraph' that shos a grey background.

I have got over the problem now, by using 'copy' then 'paste special'/'paste
as unformatted text', so all is well, but I'm still curious.

Thanks again

KK

Have you looked at Print Preview to see if the background color displays
there? It's quite possible that it will only display but not print.

If it shows in Print Preview it may very well be caused by either of
several
methods, such as Shading applied as a Paragraph Formatting attribute or as
a
graphic object set to either Behind Text or placed in the document Header.

Exactly how to address the possibilities depends on your version of Word,
so
if you have further questions be certain to specify that in your reply.

Hello,

I copied a news article (using copy/paste) from the web into a Word .docx
file. No problem.

The word file text has a faint grey background that I want to remove
before
printing it. The grey background does not extend into the margins. I
cannot
find where on the menu system to remove it. Can you please point me in
the
right direction.

Thanks
