Hello Brian

Strangely enough I've seen more times that MSWD and OpenOffice Writer 
users are using either a blue or sand-yellow background all the time 
even in mode 'Page layout'. the sand-yellow strangely enough will be 
more orange than sand-yellow when these files are used in NWP - also NWP 
1.4.x. - To me the sand-yellow isn't the worst, since this color here 
will be matted blue, but the blue color gets sharp yellow. I always run 
in 'reverse mode' set in 'Universal Access' and therefore also get 
reversed colors. - A sharp yellow is some of the worst for my eyes, but 
the mattted blue is rather good.... But like you I find it mostly 
irretating...

I think you will be able to remove it easily by just putting the cursor 
somewhre and then use 'Select all', then go to menu 'Format' and down to 
'Background color' -> 'Remove colors'. - Maybe it's even enough to use 
the button 'Highlight' after selecting all and then click and hold on 
the highlight button and select 'Remove'. - It depends on the method 
used in the original document...

Cheers, Erik Richard
