Hi Jasmine,
Not sure what is causing your problem, but here are the Print options we
have set for a document (Word 2003) that uses shaded form fields:
[cid:557383805@10062009-287E]
When I print this document form fields are not shaded, but they are shaded on
screen.
Also, found this googling your problem:
"The shading you apply by clicking Form Field Shading appears on screen so
users can quickly identify the fields they need to respond to. This shading
does not print.
To add shading to a printed form, select the form field you want to emphasize,
and then click Borders and Shading (Format menu). On the Shading tab, select
the shading options you want.
So if the shading is printing then maybe you need to look at the paragraph
above and turn off the shading in Borders and Shading for a few of the fields
and see if that fixes it for you. If it works go back and do the rest of the
form fields."
Good luck,
Ken Fredric

Subject: atw: Fill-in field shading Word 03
Hi
Someone has passed a template to me to remove the field shading from fill-in
fields.
They want it to show on-screen, but not in the printed form as it obscures the
field contents when faxed.
I have not used fill-in fields before and am stumped with this one. From
everything I have read on-line and in my books, this should be something that
has to specifically be switched on to behave in this way. I have tried
switching everything off and on but nothing seems to work.
I don't know VBA but I had a peek at the code for the template and couldn't see
anything obvious. (If anyone knows of a good resource for learning VBA for Word
please let me know. I already have 'Word Hacks' but it is more a compilation of
tips.)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Jasmine
