I see that the Microsoft advice I quoted might not have come through. It was:
To add shading to a printed form, select the form field you want to emphasize, and then click Borders and Shading (Format menu). On the Shading tab, select the shading options you want.
To top this off, is it possible to pre-fill a form field with text that will disappear when the person types in the field? E.g the text field will be pre-filled with "Name" until the person types in their name.
And how will this work in conjunction with the shading options?

Jay,
Thanks so much for your helpful answer.
I have a followup question.
I want the user to be able to print the form (partially completed) with the blank fields shaded and the filled fields unshaded (accomplished as per your instructions).
The Microsoft site says this:
To add shading to a printed form, select the form field you want to emphasize, and then click Borders and Shading (Format menu). On the Shading tab, select the shading options you want.
Will this work in conjunction with your advice?
TIA again.
