Someone sent me text that had a light yellow background, in a table. How do I
remove the yellow? The format paintbrush does not work.
 
That did not work. It is only part of the cells that are yellow. It looks
like a reviewing highlight, or an invisible text box.
 
Yes, I tried that.

Did you select the table and try changing "Borders and Shading"?

Possibly the shading is applied to the text rather than the table cell? What
happens if you select the text and press Ctrl+Spacebar?
