    I know this is a few years later, but I have just had a similar issue. I was copying tables from one part of a single document to another part and when I pasted the tables, the background went blue. I searched and none of the suggestions worked. I just
    happened to be in "Track changes" mode and right-clicked on the text in one of the tables. I accepted the change and the blue background DISAPPEARED! WOOT!

    My hero!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I've been dealing with that stupid problem for the longest time, but your post got me where I needed to go. Under "change tracking options" there was actually a section for "table cell highlighting" and it
    was set to light blue. I turned it white and voila!

    Same here. Pathetic bug. What google docs dev team did in the last 10 years?

    I am seeing my text turn blue as I type in a table in Word 2007.  It darkens to very dark blue so you cannot see what you're typing!  Does not make sense.  Is there a way to change this?

    I have the same problem, and none of the fixes mentioned above works. MS says its the result of incompatibility between Windows 10 and Office 2007, but only happens on this PC - it didn't happen on my previous PC with exactly the same software. Can
    anyone help?
