This appears to be on an iPad.


Once the text is selected


  1. tap on the paintbrush in the toolbar
  2. select the Cell section
  3. tap on the three dots in the sub-section for text effect (Bold/italic, etc.)
  4. scroll up until you see Text Background at the bottom
  5. tap on the color swatch
  6. scroll up in Preset and choose No Fill
