Form Field Shading

  1. Select the Office button then Word Options.
  2. In Word Options select ‘Show Developer tab in the ribbon' then ok. Within Prolog you will now have the Developer tab as an option.
  3. From the Developer tab navigate to the control group and select ‘Legacy tools'
  4. Form Field Shading can be turned on and off from this location.

 

Office 2003

To remove Form Shading in Word 2003 you will need to add ‘Forms' to the toolbar.

  1. Within MS Word, right click in the Toolbar area, select ‘Forms'
  2. Forms Field Shading will now be available.
