How do I get the merge fields to not print gray
"Pooh53" wrote: "David Dolbec" wrote: It was originally created in Word 2003. Any shading was turned off (borders, fonts, shading, etc.). There was an added package to MSword called "Wordlink" . I de-installed it prior to creating the new document. So I think that "Wordlink" may have been creating the problem. Thanks "Cindy M -WordMVP-" wrote: 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?

And I solved it exactly as you did - created a new main document. Sorry about the double post - PC told me I'd tried to send an empty message so I rewrote! And want to add that Wordlink had nothing to do with it 'cos I've never had it. |
