htm file blocking theme background color

I have over 100 htm screens (each created via Word and then sometimes edited in Dreamweaver) and just 2 of them have the problem where the background solid color, set in the theme for the app, does not show through. There is no background color set for these two screens to interfere with the theme color and all other screens work as they should, showing the theme background color. There must be something in the code for these two screens thats blocking the color but I'm not adept at html so if anyone can lead me to an answer I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I should add that if I scroll up or down, past the text on the page (the page has text and hyper links), the portion of the screen above and below the text has the theme color. Just the body of the text is blocking the background

Ah, the CSS or inline style or something in the HTML for sure has a background color set. And, sometimes, no-color at all turns into white. It's best to set the background color for all elements on the screen (normally b way of the body tag) to background-color:transparent. It's going to be a matter of figuring out what HTML element in the documents have a background color set. YOu could try 'view source' in your editor, then do a search for background color?
