Switching off field grey (Word 97 SR2 Win95)

Topic

New Reply

I am using the following line in an autoopen to switch off the grey background of fields:

ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded = Not ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded

However this seems to act like a flip-flop; load the doc once and the grey is off, load it again and it’s back on again.

Is there some way of setting the grey off every time?

Many thanks,

David

Indeed, your code toggles the value of ActiveDocuments.FormFields.Shaded. Not inverts the start value, so if it’s off, it’s turned on, and if it’s on, it’s turned off. Try

ActiveDocument.FormFields.Shaded = False

instead.
