Default Cross references

In Tools Options View, change the Field Shading dropdown to "Always".

This will affect all fields, not just cross-references.

In the previous version of Word when I inserted a cross reference it
was surrounded by a gray box making it easy to identify as a cross
reference. In Word 2003 the cross references aren't in a shaded area
and the only way to make them easily recognizable as a cross
reference is to change the color of the cross referenced text. I
can't find a fix. Do I need to enable an option or function
somewhere to make this happen? I appreciate any help from anyone.--
