I copied a text from Wikipedia to Word.
Back ground color is white. I tried many usual ways (Change highlight) to
change the color but failed. What command controls this color and isn't it
possible to make same color as rest of documents?

In all probability you wound up pasting as an HTML table.

If you aren't concerned about the text formatting itself, one option is to
select the table, cut, then use Edit>Paste Special - Unformatted Text to
paste in the text only. This technique will enable you to avoid similar
situations in the future - just use Paste Special rather than plain ol'
Paste. (Or use the Paste Options button that appears when you paste - click
it & choose Keep Text Only from the shortcut menu.

Thanks a lot. I haven't used those commands (Border) so it was helpful.
Thanks to you and all other NG active members, I am mastering WORD day by

One more question regarding copyy/paste of text from HTTP:

Is there any easy way to delete all hyperlinks in the text at once?

Do you want to delete them or just unlink them?

This Replace operation should do the trick:

1. Press Alt+F9 to toggle field codes so that your hyperlinks are displaying
as { HYPERLINK "http://... }

2. Press Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.

3. In the "Find what" box, type "^19 HYPERLINK" (without the quotation
marks).

4. In the "Replace with" box, type "^&" (without the quotation marks).

5. Click More to expand the dialog. Click back in the "Replace with" box.

6. Click on Format, then Style. Select "Default Paragraph Font."

7. Replace All.

8. Alt+F9 to toggle back to display of field results.

This will remove the Hyperlink character style, leaving the hyperlinks still
active.

Thanks for your nice and smart solution. I really enjoyed it.
Clicking on hyperlinks in Word works but IE behavior becomes strange. Like
black window but when move mouse over page, that part become visible. I think
this is sort of bug in my computer.

Actually, a better option for this situation (which could easily be reversed
for documents destined for Web use) is to redefine the Hyperlink and
Followed Hyperlink styles so that they are not colored or underlined.
