Can't remove highlight
I have same problem. Tried clearning the shading and the highlighting and
neither works. My text still stays highlighted. When I "reveal formatting" under the font section is stays "Shading: Clear (Yellow)". So I'm selecting clear for shading but it's leaving it yellow anyway? I don't understand. Does it have to do with the fact that it's a bulleted list? I'm just baffled.

Is it possible that the document has been Protected & that the Shading is an
attribute of a Style you don't have permission to modify? Go to the Review Tab, click the Protect Document button & see what the Task Pane has to say. You may be able to remove the Shading by applying a different Style. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones Office:Mac MVP "Cubbie_Gal" wrote in message ... I have same problem.

Clear just means that there's no pattern. It also means that what you're
seeing is not highlighting (which you would remove by selecting None for highlighting) but shading. Go to Format | Borders and Shading and choose No Fill on the Shading tab. -- Suzanne S.

I'm seeing the same problem... It's in a table, and any text that is entered
appears highlighted with yellow. I've set "No Fill"; I've set "Shading" to "Clear"; Reveal Codes shows: Pattern: Clear (Yellow) - Clear There doesn't appear to be any document Protection in effect. The entire table (3col x 17rows) has the same attributes. I also tried: "Table Properties" | "Borders & Shading" | It's also set to: Fill: No Fill Pattern: Clear Apply to: Table "Cubbie_Gal" wrote: I have same problem.

When you are on the Shading tab, make sure that you check the "Apply to"
settings. The shading may be applied to Text rather than Cell. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Brandy" wrote in message ...

Can't remove highlight
I never was able to get rid of it manually. I tried "Apply to:
Table|Cell|etc." with no change. I did, however, copy the text of the macro that someone created to get rid of the problem and that worked. Now, if the logic of that macro could just be available as a manual process..... Thanks! "Suzanne S.

Can't remove highlight
Hello,
Are these suggestions you are providing for 97-2003? I'm using 2007 and trying to highlight only the text in a numbered list and it highlights the number also. Can you provide a solution for this?

If the paragraph mark is selected (which it will be, no matter how carefully
you try to avoid it), the number will be formatted. The only solution is to select *just* the paragraph mark and remove the shading. -- Suzanne S.

If you get really frustrated (as I did) you can select all, open a new
document, paste special, and remove formating. Voila! |
