"fishy" had already admitted that "When I print out the page, there is no
gray. The black bullets print perfectly. It's just on the screen -- I'd
like the gray to go away."

For what it's worth, field shading does not, and can not, print. It's
there
to let you know that this text (or bulllet) was produced in some clever
Word
way, and is not 'hard' text typed from the keyboard.
Hope this helps.

Hi Suzanne,
In Tools Options View ... I have checkmarks in the ....
Aha! I found it! It says Field shading: Always. ..... I just
changed
it, and now I'm fine.
Thank you!
I got enough gray in my hair, don't need none on my bullets. ;-)

What setting do you have for field shading on the View tab of Tools |
Options?

Thanks Franz,
But the bullet is Black. There's gray shading above and below the
bullet -- it's the same color of gray that shades field codes when
they
are
visible. I am trying to set up bullet styles for my paragraphs, but
I've
got to get them right, first!
When I print out the page, there is no gray. The black bullets
print
perfectly. It's just on the screen -- I'd like the gray to go away.
Grecian forumla, anyone?

Hi Fishy

I'm using Word XP. Just recently, when I use bullets, they are
shadowed in gray. I have made sure that field shading is turned
off.
But I still can't get the gray shadow to go away.
I'm not using the Bullets toolbar button -- I'm gonig straight
into
Bullets & Numbering & appyling from there, as I've been told that's
better.
Well, the button simply applies whatever bullet you last choose on
that
particular system. The best way to apply bullets would be to setup a
bulleted style and assign it to the paragraph in question.
However, for the color: You might have chosen a symbol that is
actually
a
picture (in gray), or you might have managed to assign a color to
the
character used for the bullet:
Format | Bullets and Numbering | Adjust (not quite sure about this,
sitting in front of a non-English version at the moment), Font |
Fontcolor: it should be on "Automatic".
