Field shading shouldn't print - but you can turn off the shading in tools
options view.

I am "new" to WORD so my expertise is limited.

I am doing a mail merge of data into WORD, and my fields show up on
the document with 'grey' highlight (or something like that) in the
background. It wasn't doing this at first, but now that I want to
print them out, it prints out the dark areas.
Can someone please tell me if I have turned on a key or something? I
need to set that off so that it won't print out like that.

I'm facing a deadline and need an answer quickly if at all possible.
