I am having a problem where lines of text are highlighted yellow for no reason. I checked paragraph styles and made sure no rules were applied, turned off highlighting for hyphenation and justification, and it still shows. Any ideas on how to fix??

IDK if this is what you are experiencing, but I had a similar situation. The paragraph style that was used for the affected paragraphs had the "Keep Lines Together" box checked and the "Keep with next ___ lines" had 1 in the blank. I deselected the "Keep Lines Together" box, and changed the "Keep with next ___ lines" to 0. The yellow highlighting disappeared.

In Preferences, under Composition, see if Substituted Fonts or Substituted Glyphs is clicked on. If so, unclick them.

Is it possible there is conditional text set to Indicator > Method: Highlight and Appearance > Color: Yellow? The Conditional Text panel is under Window > Type & Tables.

Yes, I am working in someone else's doc and didn't know they had set up conditional text for certain sections. Thank you so much David!

So, here's what happened. Bringing in that text brought the formatting along.

By using paste without formatting, it only brought the text and honored the style in the document you're pasting into.
