Yellow Background To Text

[poisondwarf]

Good afternoon all
Whenever I cut and paste text from an Email into Word 2007, it appears with a yellow background. Strangely, it happens on both laptops. I have tried Page Layout - Background colour etc, but without success.
Anyone fancy making an old man happy?
Many thanks in anticipation of a successful outcome.

Instead of doing a straight paste into Word with CTRL+V, press ALT+E and then S to do a 'Paste Special' and then select 'Unformatted text' from the box that appears. That will avoid any unwanted formatting from the source email.

A bit long winded but I always paste text from the web or an email into Notepad (on Windows) first.

That gets rid of all formatting and then you can paste it in to Word or other word processor.

Thank you, Guilbert53 - I'll do that in future!
