Default Address prints as if highlighted

for review whilst printing them.

Are you talking about Merge preview, or about the facilities for marking
up document modifications?

If you mean the latter, I can imagine that causing a problem - that
said, Word gets it right in the very simple scenarios I've looked at so
far on Word 2007.

If you can post a set of reproducible steps it would at least make it
possible to have a look.

I'm having this same problem. I've highlighted the entire document white (to
remove any residual highlighting that may be there) but to no avail. It seems
as though Word is simply keeping the fields highlighted in the way it does
for review whilst printing them.

Try this:
a. if the Mailmerge toolbar is not visible, enable it, e.g. using
View-Toolbars
b. click the "Highlight Merge Fields" button in the middle of the toolbar

I have to print a file of letters someone used Mailmerge. When open the
file, the addresses are highlighted in purple and some personalized info in
the body of the letters. If I print in black and white, each letter is
printed with that highlight in grey. How can I remove the highlighted items,
but retain the data? I need them to print clear and without the grey
highlighted items.
