How do I stop form field shading from printing in Word 2007?

[nicole.keenan]

Hi,
I have created a form with fields in it - and the grey shading of the
fields is printing (which it shouldn't...) but I can't figure out how
to turn it off. Please help!

Thanks,
Nicole

Are you sure you don't have some text shading applied as well?

Hi Suzanne,
I've checked and there's no fill or shading applied to the fields.
It's weird - I know that it just shouldn't do this. Any suggestions
extremely welcome!

THANK YOU!!

When you looked at the shading dialog, did you make sure that "Apply to" was
set to "Text" and not "Paragraph"?

Yep, I checked that. There's definitely no shading or fill in place.

Send the doc to me if you like, and I'll take a look.

I have the same issue - never noticed it before - Word 2013 here - was there a fix?
