In the previous version of Word when I inserted a cross reference it was
surrounded by a gray box making it easy to identify as a cross reference. In
Word 2003 the cross references aren't in a shaded area and the only way to
make them easily recognizable as a cross reference is to change the color of
the cross referenced text. I can't find a fix. Do I need to enable an
option or function somewhere to make this happen? I appreciate any help from
anyone.--

In Tools Options View, change the Field Shading dropdown to "Always".

This will affect all fields, not just cross-references.

Select Tools Options View tab. Set Field Shading to Always. Then you have
your gray shading back.

Thank you so much. I was close---I checked field codes and then selected
"always"--got a bunch of field codes. It figures it was something simple.
Thanks again.
