cross reference and gray shading
Hi, in Word 2007 when I create a cross reference, the item appears with a
gray shading around it. How do I remove this shading? I assumed it was using a particular style and that I could edit it, but when I click on the reference the style is displayed as "normal" (my "normal" does not have gray shading applied.) Any help is greatly appreciated. -Brian in NY |

cross reference and gray shading
Going from memory here & don't have '07 running at the moment, but I think I
can point you in the right direction... Click the Pizza (Office) Button, then click the Word Options button & select Advanced. I believe it's a group labled as View or something similar in which there is a dropdown labled for Field Shading which is probably set to Always. Set that to Never or When Selected. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Brian17" wrote in message ...

cross reference and gray shading
Hi, thanks for the reply, but I tried that already. I too thought it was the
field shading set to "always" in the options. I set it to never it and the shading was still there. I think I figured it out, although having to fix these cross references one-by-one will be pain staking. When I use captions in to label my images I use a gray shading around the "Figure #" text part of the caption. So when I was using the cross referencing and would include a line such as "(see Figure # on page 4)" the phrase Figure # was shaded the same color gray as I was using for the caption text. If I changed the gray shading that is used in the caption text to blue, the cross reference to the same wording is also blue. I can manually remove the shading in the cross ref, but that will be painful considering the number of them I have in use in the large documents I am working with. Seems to me, with the heavy emphasis on style usage in Word 2007, that the cross ref text should also be using a style that can easily be edited. Thanks for the help. -Brian "CyberTaz" wrote: Going from memory here & don't have '07 running at the moment, but I think I can point you in the right direction...
