You don't say which version of Word you are using now, but...
a. in Word XP/2003, try Tools-Options-View, then select "Never" under Show-Field Shading b. in Word 2007 the equivalent option is under Word-Office Button-Word Options-Advanced-Show Document Content-Field Shading -- Peter Jamieson http://tips.pjmsn.me.uk "Corkie" wrote in message ...

Hello Peter! I guess mentioning the version of Word that I am now using is
2007. Thank you for your help! I am going to see if it works. I will let you know! this has been driving me crazy since November 07!

Hi again Peter... Well, I did what you suggested and it still does not work.
I am so ready to uninstall 07 and re-install my old office...

Is the area in which you are trying to edit the data located in a table, and
have you added the Different First Page or Different Odd and Even buttons to the Quick Access Toolbar? If so, remove those buttons from the QAT (there maybe a few others that cause the same problem). -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Corkie" wrote in message ... Hi again Peter...
