I want to use your office program to write my messages. I need to copy and paste bible verses but the first verse that the bible program finds is always highlighted with a light background. How do I get rid of it?
Hi @fireball. Here is a Bible program that you may find very helpful, saves selected verses and sorts them Biblically. It also has other sheets helpful in Bible reading and study. http://bit.ly/dailydesire.
- Right-click in the offending paragraph;
- choose
Paragraph...from the list in the pop-up dialog; - click the
Areatab - click “None”
- click “OK”
That should clear the background shading.
In my version (6.4.6.2) it is necessary to first highlight the target paragraph, then right-click …
@ve3oat, Depends on whether there is paragraph area color (no need to select), or character highlighting.
@LeroyG, got it! Thanks. I was testing by creating the area colour, but if the area is already there …
Edit → Paste Special (Ctrl+Shift+V). Paste as unformatted text.
Or, check the following possibilities for text that has already been pasted with formatting.
-
Format → Clear Direct Formatting (
Ctrl+M) - In the sidebar, set paragraph style to Default Style. Likewise, set character style to Default Style.
- Go to Insert → Section and delete any unwanted sections. Likewise, delete any unwanted tables or frames.
