remove highlighting from mail merge contacts

[=?Utf-8?B?VHJpc2g=?=]

The address block and greeting are highlighted, even after the merge and
printing. I've tried removing address block and putting in each portion
separately (i.e. first name, last name, title, address 1 . . .) and that
didn't help. The mail merge tool bar has the "a" w/shading but that isn't
working on removing the gray highlighting.
