I can't remove the highlighting from certain sections in my word document - I've tried selecting and highlighting all the text and then removing the highlighting, but these sections stay yellow. Any suggestions?
Maybe the color has been applied as shading and not as highlight. Try whether you can remove the color via Format > Borders and Shading > Shading tab.

Highlighting applied via the Highlighting tool on the Home tab can be
removed as follows: Select the whole document by pressing Ctrl+A and
then click the arrow on the Text Highlight Color button and choose the
"No Color."
To remove font and paragraph shading you can run the following macro:
Sub ClearAllShadingFromDoc()
'Macro created by Stefan Blom, MVP, January 2015
With ActiveDocument.Content.ParagraphFormat.Shading
.Texture = wdTextureNone
.ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
End With
With ActiveDocument.Content.Font.Shading
.Texture = wdTextureNone
.ForegroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic
End With
End Sub

"Any non-shaded characters or spaces that you highlight will prevent Word from removing the shading"Your message is very interesting and good information. Check my website for more complete information. https://www.notojoa.com/
This is what I just experienced with Word 16 for Mac.
Some people are saying the paragraph mark must be included in the selection, but that was exactly the wrong advice in my case.
With paragraph mark included, I went to Borders and Shading and it said "No Color" for the Fill.
But with paragraph mark excluded (only the shaded text was selected), Borders and Shading showed me the Fill color that I was trying to get rid of. Success!
