May 31, 2015 Text and black background appears and I don't know how to remove the background. If I press Return at the end of the black-background paragraph, all new text I type also has a black background. I have two questions: Q1: What actually is this black background? Is it a text attribute (bold, italic, strikethrough and so on)?
The 'grey area' to the left of the working area (which is blue on my machine) shows the thumbnail of the page where you are currently entering or editing text. The only way i know to make it go away is to go View (menu) Hide Page Thumbnails. The grey vertical stripe to the right of the working page in the area beyond the edge of the defined page width set in Page Setup.
It will show whenever your document window has been set wider than the page width at the current magnification. You can remove that grey by enlarging the page, or by reducing the window width. Pages documents align to the left edge of the working space in the window, and can't be moved from there. Other actions you could take: Use Full Screen mode (View enter Full Screen) The removes all other material from the display, leaving an image of the page, centered left to right, and surrounded by a blank, black border. Depending on your window settings, you may also see a word count and an page number/page count displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you want a plain, whiite (or other colour) margin for your document, try this: Open a new, blank Pages document.
Use the View menu to hide all elements whose menu item starts with 'Hide'. Set the view scale to 400%, using the control at the bottom left. Drag the window to the left about twice as far as needed to hide the red amber and green gumdrops in the title bar. Drag the control at the bottom right corner right (and down) to fill the window. Drag the title bar right to hide the lozenge at the right end of the title bar. Save the document as a Template, with the name 'Blank white background' To use: Open ths template, then open the document you want to work on.
Hide the Page Thumbnails of the work document, resize the document window to hold the page, with no grey area to the right. Reposition the document to be centered horizontally on the page. Regards, Barry.

Hi everyone Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I searched the forum and couldnt find what I was looking for. Nobody seems to know! How can I copy and paste an EndNote-linked chunk of text in Word, without copying the formatting (i.e. The grey background)?
For those of you who are new to this as well, this is what I am referring to: Normally, in Word, when hovering your cursor over an EndNote-linked piece of text, the background to the text will go grey. If you try to copy & paste that chunk of text, the grey background will also be copied, no matter what you do! I bow down to whoever knows the answer to this, because I've been searching high and low!;-) Many thanks in advance!
Once you paste it into word, there is a little 'clipboard' that appears until you do something else. Click on it and select, 'text only' and it will remove the 'hyperlink' and field information. if it has italics, it might also remove that though. If you just want the hyperlink gone, reformat the bibliography on the original document and turn off that option in the dialog. (bottom, of the first tab, untick box). This will keep the endnote 'field' but not the hyperlink. As an alternative, make a copy of the original document and removed all the field links.
This will break any link to Endnote though. This is an option (remove field codes) on the endnote toolbar. If you want the 'field' info intact (linking it to Endnote, and thus reformat-able) and just don't want your Word document to reflect it, you should turn off the 'field highlighting' in word which is of 3 flavors. Only show when selected, always show, or never show. These are in the Word Options, advanced (in Word 2010) accessible from the file menus. There is no need to download a separate application.

You can do the same thing by copying the text into the Notepad application on the Windows operating system or the TextEdit application on the Mac. In TextEdit, be sure to click Format Make Plain Text. Alternatively, after you paste into Word, highlight the text in question. You can then click Ctrl + 6 on Windows or Command + 6 on the Mac to strip out any field codes. This will remove the link between the citations and EndNote that was responsible for the field shading (grey background) you are seeing.
