There is a light blue background behind the text of my word document. It is
not shading and is not highlighting. Please, any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

Try using Format\Background, and click No Fill

Hope this helps,

On the flip side, in Word 2007, how do I create a background fill? I am LOST
without the option to click "FormatBackground". Word 2007 has me thoroughly
confused.

You didn't look in help then? It would have told you that on the page layout
tab, page background group, there is a button for 'page color'.

Yes, I tried searching all sorts of different phrases in help - background
fill, background color, etc. It didn't come up.

Thank you for the solution, but I didn't need the attitude.
