Default How do I get the merge fields to not print gray
Hi =?Utf-8?B?RGF2aWQgRG9sYmVj?=,

I have no idea why the other document persists with the gray shading.

Was this document originally created in Word 2003 or 2000?

If you delete a merge field and insert it again, new, does the gray
shading persist? Or does it go away for that field?

How about if you copy/paste some text (without any paragraph marks)
into a new document?

Finally - to not overlook the obvious - if you click in such a merge
field then go to Format/Borders and Shading/Shading: is a gray shading
applied to this text?
