• Thanks for the information, but it didn’t help. Here is the problem I’m having.

  I open a Word Document and select a block of text.  Word «Highlights» the selected text Background black and changes the words Text colors to white.  What I want is for the Text color to stay black and the «Highlight» Background
  to be a different color (say light gray or light teal).

  Any guidance???

• Hi

  Did you mean it used to display well when you select a block of text?

  We recommend you delete/rename the normal.dotm(search in your local machine and you can find it)

  You might also do a repair for your Office suites in Control panel>Program and features>Office>Change>Repair

  You might also refer to the following link to reset user options in Word:

• Hmmmmm . . . Tried both and no luck. I’ll keep trying to find the solution, but if anyone has suggestions, please feel free to post them here! Thanks.  Again, I’m talking about when I «Select» text to cut, copy, move or format . . . .
  . the highlight is black and the text turns white.  When I unselect, it reverts to normal (white background and black text).

  Yet in IE the Highlighting is just like I would want it to be.

• This situation appeared on my machine about three weeks ago too. Looks terrible! Have you found any solutions yet?
  

• Unfortunately the only way I was able to resolve this issue was to do a repair again on the Office application. That corrected the issue.

• Well I have tried that (several times) to no avail. Text selection looks normal in PowerPoint and OneNote but not Word or Outlook. Sigh.
  

• Did you resolve this issue yet? If so, may you please provide the instructions?
  I’m an extremely picky person and cannot deal with very tiny things that knocks stuff «off balance»

• Not yet. I hear you on being picky; I about ready to reinstall Windows to resolve this. I can’t believe it is impossible to find a solution for this!

• Hi,

  I about ready to reinstall Windows to resolve this. I can’t believe it is impossible to find a solution for this!

  did you check your Windows settings (high contrast for example)?

• Yes I did Lisa, in the Ease of Access settings plus changing themes in Control Panel>Personalization. The problem remains despite all these attempts. Do you have any suggestions?

• Hi I’m having the opposite problem.  I’m visually impaired and my text highlight color is light gray so when I try to do a find/replace, I can’t see the text highlight to easily find/replace.  I would like it to be black highlight with white
  text.  It works correctly in Publisher but not in Word.  I too have tried everything and cannot fix it.  Help!!

• Pls. check these are shown below.

• Hi,

  Try on below solution:

  Probably your using or started «Speech Recognition». So, why some of the selected text is highlight.

  Control Panel > Ease of Access > Speech Recognition > *Advanced speech option [You can see left panel]

  Speech Recogniton > User Settings > ‘Cancel this’ >> «Run Speech Recognition at startup» and click OK

  And now check Word or Outlook.

  I hope will help.

• Search for color calibration in your Windows setup. Worked like  a charm for me.

• If you wish to change the color for
  «selected text», press the Start Button and
  type «Windows colors and metrics» (without the » »
  marks). 

  The list which appears above will contain a link to, Change windows
  colors and metrics.

  In the Item drop-down menu, choose Selected items. 
  Next move across to the Color 1 drop-down
  menu and choose your color.

  Thank you so much ! It solves this nagging issue !

• Hi,

  I tried this solution. But my problem is still persisting. I wonder if there is another solution. Thank you in advance for your advice.

• FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Problem: Highlighted text in Word 2013 appearing the most faded of greys, so much so you have to squint at the screen to see what text is highlighted — FRUSTRATING!!!

  Fix:

  I noticed the only change I had done was an update for (well known software that may or may not be used for torrents!) that had also installed ‘Search Protect’.

  1. Uninstall Search Protect via control panel > programs and features.
  2. Reboot PC
  3. Try again.
  4. If you don’t have search protect installed I would remove any 3rd party apps that you don’t use or don’t remember installing as these programs can be nasty and affect the performance of your PC and compromise your security

• It could be a problem of your monitor’s color settings .I had the same issue and went under Intel HD graphics and just restored it to default . The highlight color was changed back to default value .Possibly this would solve your problem as it worked for
  me.

• Hi,

  Yes you can. I discovered this tricky way after several times of test.

  To make selection black (while selected text looks white):

  1. Press WinKey & Plus, this brings up Magnifier.

  2. Start Word 2013.

  

  Done! So simple? Yes I don’t know if this is a built-in-easteregg by Microsoft, it seems no one know this before even staff from MS (search for other topics with the same question on Google and see what they were talking about).

  The problem is, as tested on my machine (Windows 7 64-bit with Office 2013 64-bit), this method
  affects only Word 2013. Neither Excel/Powerpoint etc. will take the same effect — all their selection boxes insist to be light.

  Remarks: launching Magnifier will not perform the above to the previously opened Word window.

  If you find this useful, tell me. If you find this doesn’t work for you, tell me as well.

• Hi, I have found the solution of this problem! You just have to change a theme in high contrast (ease of access) from «none» to any other option, apply, then rollback to «none», apply. That solve the problem so well in my PC.
  Good luck, sorry for my bad english.

• This worked Great for me.  Thank You

• I had a difficult time with this as well both alone and with MS support staff.  What I found on my own (and believe me I am not terribly techinical) was a thread on changing the colour of the ‘page’ in the ‘design’ tab.  From here I chose a very
  light grey colour which changed the colour of the text highlight function. Here is where I got the idea: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Change-the-background-or-color-of-a-document-6ce0b23e-b833-4421-b8c3-b3d637e62524

• Wow. These answers are all over the place!

  Listen. If you ever want to change ANY color that is controlled by the Windows System itself, you simply need to use the Registry Editor (Start > Run > Type «Regedit» and push enter). Now, navigate to «HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Control Panel
  > Colors.» On the right-hand side, you will see a list of color labels, along with their RGB values. Find the RGB value of the color you want, then locate the color label you want to adjust. Double click on the color label and input the desired RGB
  value into the «Value data» line (Example: Black=»0 0 0″ or White=»255 255 255″). Reboot your PC to apply any changes. Problem solved.

  NOTE: Messing around in the Registry Editor can be extremely dangerous, and you can very easily corrupt your entire system. Do NOT play around with anything unless you know exactly what you are doing. I am not responsible for anything you break by toying
  around with any settings outside of the color string I have provided.

  I hope this helps,
  Psy
