There are a lot of different types of fill-in fields - I'm assuming
these are text form fields.
On the Forms toolbar, there is an icon like an "a" with shading - this
toggles the shading on and off the form fields.
To toggle this with VBA you need to use:
If ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded = True
ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded = false
End
Cheers,

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
