Highlighting cross-references...?

[Geoff Hart <ghart -at- videotron -dot- ca>]

Al Geist notes: <<I have two computer systems. Both run XP Pro and MS  
Office Pro 2003. In one Word document, the cross references are  
highlighted with a light gray background. In the other, they are not  
highlighted. The Tool Options are identical on both systems as are  
the Tool Customize selections. I want the cross references to be  
highlighted on both systems to make editing easier.>>

I'm not using Word 2003, but based on previous versions, odds are  
excellent you'll find what you're looking for in the Options  
(Preferences on the Mac) dialog box, on the View tab. Look for two  
settings: the checkbox for "Field Codes", and the dropdown menu for  
"Field shading". Mine is set to "Always", and I get the grey shading  
you report.

There's also a "Highlight" checkbox that may serve this function in  
later versions, and 2003 may have added some additional view options  
worth checking.
