[mso] Re: Word 2000 highlighting

I was afraid I was not clear enough.  hmm, ok, try it this way:  I 
can change the background, but I CANNOT clear the highlighting.  If I 
could clear the highlighting, the problem would be resolved, I think.

Let me phrase my question this way:  How would I go about 
**forcibly** clearing the highlighting for all cells in a template of 
address labels, when it appears that highlighting does not want to clear?

I hope I am clear now. If not, let me know what I need to answer or explain.

Thanks.

Robert
