[Affinity Publisher all automatic insert like date have background color]

Thank you. I did learn a lot in the two days I spent on this but did not find that. I do not understand how it was off for so many months then turned on. It was checked so must have been changed in an update? Nothing else was checked as a default. If, as you say, it defaults to highlight, it must have been in error all that time. Strange.

[Affinity Publisher all automatic insert like date have background color]

I have a 325 page manuscript set up in Affinity Publisher using Windows 10. I am using Publisher 1.10.4. All was well after 10.9 then every entry that came from automatic test insert has a dark yellow background. I believe it started after 1.10.3 but I was busy on other things and thought I would wait to fix that. Tried highlights, backgrounds, redoing, text, frames, decorations, going to factory setting, etc. Nothing helped. Then created a new file and added the pages from the old document.  All the same. Finally tried new document with nothing but inserted date. Same thing. Have many times tried rebooting; reinstalling.

Then I went back a version; back 2 versions and back 3 versions. Nothing helps even if I go back to versions before the problem. Now it doesn't matter which version I use, the same background is on every insert. It does not show up in a printing of the pages and I don't see it in a PDF but I do not know if it would show up in the PDF for publisher. I thought perhaps there was something not getting deleted but the Affinity folder in program files is erased whenever I uninstall. I do not want to have to type page numbers and section name on every page. 

I am very frustrated. I can work around most problems which there have been many but need help with this. Thank you in advance for your time.

One last thing, the only thing I can come up with because they problem was not affecting others and I had been having electrical problems from storms is that the problem originated with the Affinity software that reports crashes.

OK, one of "those things." I was using 1.10.1  tried for 2 days and found the problem was Publisher not Windows 10 backup (nothing to back up), etc. then went back to 1.9 after rebooting multiple times trying other files;  using safe mode; reinstalling twice running every cleaner I could on the system.

I have to think now that since I live where the electricity has been unstable that something happened to my system or drive. Sorry. I have not tried 1.10.1 again until just now. 

Thank you.

Lost full days work. Backed off to prior 1.10.1 update still not saving and then margins didn't show, other view problems. This morning I reinstalled 1.9.2 and so far it is saving and options to view seem to work.
