Lighter shade of grey for fields?
You can use a macro such as the following:
Dim tocf As Field For Each tocf In ActiveDocument.Fields If tocf.Type = wdFieldTOC Then tocf.Select Selection.Range.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorGray10 ' Selection.Range.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorAutomatic End If Next tocf To remove the shading, uncomment the line that ends in wdColorAutomatic -- Hope this helps.

In case anyone cares, that can be done via: Office button (Alt+F) Word options (at bottom or Alt+I) Advanced option (I thought menus were gone...) Show document content section (3rd) Field shading (set to "Never") I guess the geniuses at MSFT were so busy designing ribbons and moving options around that they didn't have time to allow a lighter shade of grey. I bet I can get a large number of people to agre that it is way too dark. -- Office 2007 Pro on WinXP |
