Removing gray shading in protected forms (drop down box)
Hello-
I am creating some contract templates for my company's sales force using Word 2003. I am using the forms toolbar to insert checkboxes and drop down boxes from which to select deliverable specifications. The problem is that when a user selects an option from the drop down box, the gray shading remains. I know the sales teams HATE the gray shading because they don't think it looks very good when sending to customers. Is there a way to disable the shading when an option is selected? Thanks. |

If your form uses macros already (which I surmise from your other question that I just answered), add this procedu Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.View.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingNever End Sub If there are no macros and you don't want to use this one, then each user will have to go into Tools Options View (or in Word 2007, Office button Word Options Advanced) and set the Field Shading dropdown to Never. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
