Paul. I received your file privately and I fixed it and sent it back to you. As, I said, it was Highlighting so I just Selected All (ctrl+a) and clicked on the Highlighting button and chose "None" but since you are blind, I'm posting this to the group to see if any of the keyboard wizards in here know what the keyboard shortcut is to remove highlighting. Anyone know? (I'm a major mouse gal so I don't) Linda F.

Dian, I used your suggestion but it is not getting rid of the black background which is behind some of the text that is also black. Now this text is most likely some of what I imported in. Linda, I tried giving the background of the file a white colour but again no joy, it seems such a small problem yet is giving such trouble in getting rid off. Sincere thanks, Paul. ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
