FAQ
What is the difference between Character Shading and Highlight?
- Character Shading is usually used for more formal text emphasis and looks closer to a filled background effect.
- Highlight is closer to a marker-pen effect and is useful for review, study, and temporary reminders.
- If you need richer color-based grouping, use Shading Color or Highlight.
Why does the text background appear light red?
- First check whether this is a special display effect in the document rather than normal character shading.
- Open File-related settings and go to an Options or View-type page.
- Check settings related to document field marks or similar display effects, then turn off the display you do not need.
How do I remove the gray background that appears when I click the table of contents?
- This gray background is often related to field display effects rather than manually applied character shading.
- Open File-related settings and go to View-type options.
- In the document content display settings, change field shading so it is not shown.
