Word - cannot shade text - difficult formatting in the backgroud

[irinarox]

Hello!

I have an issue with the shading option in Word - parts of the text are formatted with white background and shading cannot be applied on the whole text.

It seems there is no quick and feasible fix for this - format painter just erases the formatting and I do not want this to happen and changing the background from Borders and Shading option is taking too much time and then it is difficult to remove the shading.

Did you encounter such issues before and did you discover any quick fix to this?
I've attached an example

Thank you!
