Word Field Shading

Field Shading is a helpful setting in Microsoft Word that allows users to see the fields in a document which have been automated by triConvey. 

This tool is especially helpful when working on precedents and other document types where automated field codes have been added.

To enable and/or disable the field shading option in Word:

1.    Open Microsoft Word (not via triConvey) and select the File tab.

2.    Select Options.

3.    Select Advanced and scroll down to the section named Show document content.

4.    Next to Field shading select Always from the drop-down menu.  Press OK to save changes.

Tip:  You may need to close and re-open Word for the changes to save.

• To switch this feature off, navigate to this section again and change the dropdown option to Never.

5.    When opening up a document, you will now see the automated fields show up shaded.
