Default Stubborn formatting

I'm using Word 2002/Win 98. Although I have unchecked
"Define styles based on your formatting" and many others
in the Auto Correct Options plus made sure that
Automatically Update was not checked for any styles at
all, I keep getting yellow background color in one of my
table cells that were used in other places in the table.
I've done Ctrl Q, Ctrl spacebar, EditClear Formats to no
avail. I've also highlighted the text and clicked No Fill
for Background or White as well but that yellow background
remains.
Interestingly, the yellow background is not consistent and
is appearing on a style I modified (List Bullet)but that
style is not used in the appropriate yellow background
text.
Thank you for your time,
Regina

We had success with highlighting the entire row that the
cell is in and then clicking NO Fill.
