I have color behind the text that I cannot remove.

[Diana]

I have clicked no fill no highlight no color everywhere I could and there is
still color behind the text in a word document. I copied the text from an
e-mail and tried numerous things (remove shading from table cell, etc.) and
cannot get rid of the mint green "highlighting" behind the text.

Are you sure that it is not shading applied to a paragraph?

Try running a macro containing the following code when you have the text
selected:

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To Selection.Paragraphs.Count
Selection.Paragraphs(i).Shading.BackgroundPatternColor =
wdColorAutomatic
Next i

You don't mention the version of Word you are using.
Also you don't mention if the colour is behind just one word in a sentence,
or the whole sentence, or the word is its own sentence (ie a list item)?
Have you tried copying the text as unformatted Text (Edit, Paste Special)?
When you deselected all of the usual suspects, did you have the paragraph
mark selected as well (Ctrl+Shft+8 to toggle the view)?
Hope this helps
