It was originally created in Word 2003.
Any shading was turned off (borders, fonts, shading, etc.).
There was an added package to MSword called "Wordlink" . I de-installed it
prior to creating the new document. So I think that "Wordlink" may have been
creating the problem.
Thanks

Hi ?B?RGF2aWQgRG9sYmVj?=,
I have no idea why the other document persists with the gray shading.
Was this document originally created in Word 2003 or 2000?
If you delete a merge field and insert it again, new, does the gray
shading persist? Or does it go away for that field?
How about if you copy/paste some text (without any paragraph marks)
into a new document?
Finally - to not overlook the obvious - if you click in such a merge
field then go to Format/Borders and Shading/Shading: is a gray shading
applied to this text?
