title: Microsoft Word Highlighting Text White
body: <p>For some reason, whenever I create a Text Box and start typing, the background text is highlighted white and I can't make it transparent. This picture should explain everything:
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HRJFg.png" alt="Example of text in textbox having white highlight"></p>
  
  <p>I want to remove the highlighting so the gradient in the background shows through. I used to do things like this a lot, but for some reason Word won't let me now. Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>I am on Word 2011 Mac</p>
