Hi there,

I have updated to Windows 10.

 I believe Windows have also automatically updated my Office?

It seems like in Microsoft Word, the "remove background" function under the "picture tools" selection is now gone?

Many thanks

    I tried this, and still cannot find the background removing tool.  Very bummed, because I used it regularly.  

    For the Remove Background command to be present, convert your file to the most recent file format (File | Info | Convert).

    Updating to Windows 10 does not automatically update Office.

    Try repairing the Office installation as detailed in the Knowledge Base article at:
