Default Gray 'highlight' in references list

For some reason, when I generated my APA-style reference list (about 14
pgs.), each entry in the list is 'highlighted' in gray. If I attempt to
actually highlight a particular entry, or portion of an entry, to enter a
'comment' the entire list gets highlighted. How do I get these automatic
'highlights'. I'm using Word 2007 with a Vista operating system.

Default Gray 'highlight' in references list

I think that you might have field shading turned on. To turn it off, click
on the Office Button, then on Word Options in the bottom border of the
dialog and then on Advanced and scroll down to the "Show document content"
section and in the Field shading pulldown, select either When selected or
Never.

Hope this helps.
