Remove background highlighting form merge fields
I have a Word document that worked fine until we upgraded to Office 2003.
I've finally have the merge working again after hours of work. HOWEVER, my merge fields now have a background highlight that shows up on the screen and during printing. Yet it's not showing up under any of the formatting for these fields. It's the 11th hour and a task that should have taken minutes has turned into a major project. A general comment: The company I work for has ceased upgrading our users to 2003 after all the problems with this product. Sadly, they are going back to WordPerfect after I spent years of trying to get the company on the Office bandwagon. Who would think that you could take a decent product and create such a mess. WHAT A HUGE WASTE OF TIME THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Somehow the button highligh fields in the merge toolbar was toggled. Didn't
even think to look there - it shouldn't have been set to highlight. "DD" wrote: I have a Word document that worked fine until we upgraded to Office 2003.
