When I paste text into word from a website, there appears to be a color background to the text that I cannot remove.How to solve this issue?

In Word 2010, click on File, Options, Advanced, under Cut, Copy, Paste and click on the drop down option for 'Pasting from other programs' and select 'Keep Text Only'.

In Word 2007, click on the Office button, Word Options, Advanced, under Cut, Copy, Paste and click on the drop down option for 'Pasting from other programs' and select 'Keep Text Only'.
