blue page number

[Anita]

I was playing around with keyboard shortcuts and now all my page numbers on
every doc I open are blue/highlighted. I am a computer 'idiot'.

Go to Show Headers and Footers, select the page number with your
cursor, and click the Highlight button. (Or maybe it's not
highlighting but shading; in that case, go to Format Borders and
Shading and turn it off.)

If it's actually gray rather than blue, go to Tools | Options | View and set
"Field shading" to "None" or "When selected."

 

[Anita]

Yes, that was it!

Thank you so much.

If it's actually gray rather than blue, go to Tools | Options | View and set
"Field shading" to "None" or "When selected."

Hey, I tried it but it didn't work.

I guess the color was grey b/c Suzanne's suggestion worked.

Thanks again.
