hightlighted Text's colour becomes inverted

When I highlight words (not the highlighter just hold and drag) in Word 2013 the selection is black and photos become inverted. Before it was just a light grey highlight which is the same as my other computers using Word. I did install a new language pack before this started to happen.

Surface Pro 2 running 8.1

Here an example:

It highlights it black and inverse the colours instead of the default grey highlight, and I have no idea of how to change it back to grey.

Black text becomes white etc. Any way to change this back?

Thank you for the response.

Did you change the theme of Windows 8.1 and check if the same issue persists?

You may also refer to the thread link given below and check if that helps.

I followed the forum and apparently speech recognition caused this problem, although I never had it on, I turn it on and then off. This appears to have solved the problem and changed it back to normal.

Thank you for your help!
