Try ToolsOptionsView and change Field Shading to Never.

I would have to add that if that fixed your problem, it is almost certain
that you have not actually executed the merge, but are just printing a preview of the results. If you execute the merge, there will be no fields for which the shading could have been displayed. -- Hope this helps.
