Some text appearing with a white highlight converting .docx > .mobi

Zkekac · 11-17-2021, 09:51 PM

99% of the text appears fine, but some appears like this: https://imgur.com/YR84RdE

Any idea why? I've made sure the entire document has no highlighted colors in word. Still the issue persists.

because it defines a background color which you dont see in word since its white.

Text is not transparent, so you get the default

You also need to set background-color for the current block

There's no BG color set. I checked all the options in word to ensure it. Unless I missed one, which is possible, but it's an enigma to me where it would be.

Where does the sepia background come from? What/where did that image come from?

There are many places in word that ca define formatting options. I suggestthe easiest fix is to copy it out paste it into notepad and then delete the entire clock from word and copy paste it back from notepad.
