Hi everyone!

I even opened Word, pressed Shift+F1 to inspect the formatting, and didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Does anyone know to what formatting is it referring to? ▲ Collapse

The nfa=True parameter refers to shading (highlighting =/= shading in MS Word)
Apparently, some words were highlighted and shaded at the same time, hence Trados showing the highlight and surrounding it with the shading tags.
