Default Rid blue highlighting when typing in tables? Not style.

It sounds as a known problem caused by having certain buttons added to the
Quick Access Toolbar (QAT). Buttons known to cause blue shading in table
cells are €śDifferent first page€ť and €śDifferent odd and even€ť. If the user
has one or both of these buttons added, try to remove them. If that does not
solve the problem, try to remove any other buttons added to the QAT one by
one to see whether that helps.

A user I support is experiencing sporadic light blue and dark blue
highlighing in table cells when he types. It is not due to table style or
cell shading. He has a plain (white background with black text) cell
selected, and when he starts typing the row is highlighted in blue -
sometimes a light shade and sometimes a dark shade. It makes the text very
difficult to see at times. Happens spordically. When he clicks out of the
cell to finish his editing the highlighting disappears.
