How to print document with field shading
Field shading doesn't print. What you can do is add highlighting to the
fields, for example via Find and Replace: First, press Alt+F9 to display field codes. Then press Ctrl+H to display the Find and Replace dialog box. "Find what": ^d "Replace with": leave blank With the insertion point in the "Replace with" box, click More, and then click Format, Highlight. Click Replace All. Hide field codes again, by pressing Alt+F9 again. Note that the current Highlight color will be used; make sure to select the one you want before performing the find and replace. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DLau" wrote in message ...

How to print document with field shading
Although ordinary field shading doesn't print, I believe form field shading
does print if it is displayed. As a test, create a new blank document and insert a text form field. By default, form field shading is enabled (at least in Word 2003), but if it's not, click the Form Field Shading button on the Forms toolbar to turn it on. Lock the form. In Print Preview, the field shading is shown. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ... Field shading doesn't print.

Good point. From the original message, it isn't clear which kind of fields
the OP wants to print, though. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

How to print document with field shading
I agree it's ambiguous. I guess I made an unwarranted assumption that the
only reason one would want to print fields shaded would be that they were form fields. -- Suzanne S.
