Grey background
in [Beginners]

From: KRK on 23 Jan 2010 08:45 Hello, I copied a news article (using copy/paste) from the web into a Word .docx file. No problem. The word file text has a faint grey background that I want to remove before printing it. The grey background does not extend into the margins. I cannot find where on the menu system to remove it. Can you please point me in the right direction. Thanks KK
From: CyberTaz on 23 Jan 2010 09:43 Have you looked at Print Preview to see if the background color displays there? It's quite possible that it will only display but not print. If it shows in Print Preview it may very well be caused by either of several methods, such as Shading applied as a Paragraph Formatting attribute or as a graphic object set to either Behind Text or placed in the document Header. Exactly how to address the possibilities depends on your version of Word, so if you have further questions be certain to specify that in your reply.

From: KRK on 24 Jan 2010 07:15 Hi again & thanks for the help. I have Word 2007, The print preview does indeed display the grey background, and I cant find anything in 'font' or 'paragraph' that shos a grey background. I have got over the problem now, by using 'copy' then 'paste special'/'paste as unformatted text', so all is well, but I'm still curious.

From: CyberTaz on 24 Jan 2010 16:12 Well, if the text isn't in a Text Box or other Shape there are at least 3 more possibilities I can think of offhand: 1- Paragraph Shading: Select the text then have a look at the Shading button on the Home Tab in the Paragraph group - the icon is a Paint Can. 2- Page Color: Page Layout Tab, Page Background group. This normally doesn't print, but it will if the Printing Option is selected to include "Print background colors & images". 3- A graphic object filled with the gray has been inserted into the Header or has been inserted into the Text Layer & formatted with a form of Text Wrapping, such as Behind Text. It should be selectable if it's in the Header when you go to Edit Header [Insert Tab] or double-click in the top margin area. A floating object Behind Text can be a little trickier � Go to the Select button in the Editing group on the Home Tab (right end) & select the Select Objects tool. Then click in the document to select the filled shape.
