I am working with a Word Form and would like to know if there a process by
which the gray shaded background areas of the form fields (which are
visible
on screen) can actually be set to print/appear on a hard copy printout.

In reviewing the postings in this regard, it seems as though everyone else
is interested in the gray shading being prevented from printing. I,
however,
would like to see them on the actual printed page.

My appreciation in advance and my apologies if I have inadvertently posted
this question in duplicate.
