how do I get rid of grey highlighting in fields? Twiggie 11/26/2008 2:37:02 AM Having spent ages compiling an address book and creating mailing labels from it, I can't get the grey highlighting in the fields to disappear. I don't want these when I print the labels.

Re: how do I get rid of grey highlighting in fields? "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" <dkr[ at ]REMOVECAPSmvps.org> 11/26/2008 4:26:36 AM If you execute the merge, there will be no field to be highlighted. It sounds like rather than executing the merge, you are just previewing the results. See the article "Mailmerge Labels with Word XP" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm See the article "Mail Merge with Word 2007" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm You can however turn off the field shading under Tools>Options>View in Word XP and earlier and under Word Options>Advanced>Show Document Content in Word 2007. -- Hope this helps.
