Okay, this is what I do:
- Select text on a web page.
- Command-C.
- In a TextEdit or iText Express document (rich text, with formattted text already in the document), I press Command-V.
- 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)? If so, what is it called – Black Background? Is it a separate layer (like in Photoshop) that is all black?
Q2: Is it possible to do something to remove it other than setting the entire document to plain text ?
Converting to plain text is not a solution as there is other text in the document that I don't want stripped of formating. A workaround is to paste the text into a new document, make it plain text, then copy and paste into the real document. A lot of work just to try and remove a background.
It seems weird to me that text with black background can by copied and pasted, but the background can't be removed.
