Re: How do I get rid of highlighting of text in MS Word 2003? "Jezebel" <warcrimes[ at ]whitehouse.gov> 24.09.2006 23:51:20 There's highlighting, there's character shading, and - if the text is in a cell, frame, or textbox - there's the shading applied to the container. Or you might have a shaded rectangle positioned under the text. If all else fails, select the shaded stuff, cut, and pastespecial as unformatted text.
