Thanks Nobumi and Erik.
Neither of your suggestions seemed to have an effect, but with the Character Palette open, Selecting a line of text produced "Calibri" which is shown as being coloured 'orange' in the palette. "Remove Background Colour" is disabled.
By again selecting a line of text and then changing it to, say, Helvetica Neue, the orange background is removed and we have a clear line of black text and faint yellow background.
Calibri is not in my Font list so I can't change the colouring back, but because I cannot distinguish between the underlying text from Helvetica Neue and that in Calibri, I was at a loss.
However -
By tracking changes [what a beautiful thing] I can see that the font 'was Calibri' but is now Verdana [this time]. So a solution is to select the text and change the Font, with Track Changes ON. There is a faint yellow background.
AH ha, got it. Just 'Select all' and change the Font. Removes background colour. Sets new font.
Print too. Solved. But what is Calibri? Some funny MS trick?

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 had the same problem before. I think this is some kind of "marked text", probably "bookmarked", or "missing font". Go to "Preferences > Appearance", and check the colors of these "marked text". You can delete bookmark(s), or change the fonts to those you have on your computer. If the color comes from some "field code" (related to "Merge Placeholders"), then you can not delete it; the only thing you can do is to make the color blank in the Preferences > Appearance. We can insert "merge placeholders", but we cannot delete them or edit them. I told once about this problem with Martin. He said he would think of some way to fix it, but I think he had not the time to do so for this upgrade.
