 * 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to remove all highlighted text.

Method 2: Use a different highlight color

 * 1) Select the highlighted text.
 * 2) Click the Highlight arrow on the Formatting toolbar, and then click a color other then yellow.
 * 3) Repeat steps 1 and 2 to change all highlighted text.

Method 3: Turn the highlight feature off
