How do I remove the gray background around text. Each line is backed in gray, not the whole doc.

I've tried everything in the drop downs. There must be an easy fix. Each line has a gray background. Not the whole document, just each line. Tried to copy and paste an example below but the gray disappears when I paste in below..

Hi, Ryan,
Drag your cursor through the problem text or triple-click on it if it's a paragraph to select it. Then go toFormat > Clear formatting (or pressCtrl + \ ) to remove the background color.

Sharon, if you would be willing to shareone page of your document with this problem, I could take a look at it and try to determine how you could remove the background. If you'd like to do that, please see the instructions for a sharing a link that I posted earlier in this thread.
