How do I change the color of a field shade in Word 2003?
I am attempting to create a form--but I want the fields that need to be
complete to stand out in the doucment. Gray isn't doing it for me. I am also open to other ways of accomplishing this. Thanks. |

One way is to start by laying out your form in a table -- turn off its borders if you don't want it to be obvious. For those fields that you want to make conspicuous, set a color for the cell's background shading. Another way, common on web pages, is to place a bold red asterisk in the text next to required fields. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

How do I change the color of a field shade in Word 2003?
There is no way to change the automatic color of field shading in any
version of Word. You could, however, remove the field shading and then use Find and Replace to apply a highlight or shading color to fields. You would be searching for "^19 " (that is, ^19 followed by a space, without the quotation marks) and replacing with ^& with the appropriate formatting. In order for the Replace operation to work, you must have field codes displayed (Alt+F9). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Debi" wrote in message ...
