S Stefan Blom Mar 11, 2009 #6 I'm glad you got it sorted. As you have noticed, the "Field shading" option in the Word Options dialog box only applies to "non-form" fields.

B Billg Mar 11, 2009 #7 Yes....that's why I was having trouble get rid of the gray in the form. I was using the "Word Options" box and nothing was happen to the form.
