How to remove highlighted symbols in Microsoft Word?

Answer

In the resulted MS Word file you can use Shading option to remove highlighted text:

Select the text and then apply Shading > No Color to it.​

To disable highlighting option in FineReader settings:

1. Go to Tools > Options > Format Settings > DOC/RTF/ODT.
2. Disable Highlight low-confidence characters option:
   
3. Click Save.

In this case you will still see highlighted symbols on the right pane Text of OCR Editor but not in the exported file.
