Hi Jasmine,
One thing that springs to mind is that you could put a macro on the
print function that changes the style for the fields to be minus the
shading.
Another possibility is to set up the users systems (probably through a
start-up macro) so that the fields are always visible
(Tools>Options>View) when viewing but actually have no shading applied.
Or, you could try another way of making the fill-in fields stand out
by perhaps using a heavier border and avoid shading altogether.
Cheers,
Terry
Quoting jasminethetrainer@xxxxxxxxx:
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
