Default form - field shaded blank, unshaded when filled in, p.p. s.

I see that when I copy and paste from Microsoft, it doesn't come through for some reason. I will type it out:

To add shading to a printed form, select the form field you want to emphasize and then click Borders and Shading (Format Menu). On the Shading tab, select the options you want.

I see that the Microsoft advice I quoted might not have come through. It was:

To add shading to a printed form, select the form field you want to emphasize, and then click Borders and Shading (Format menu). On the Shading tab, select the shading options you want.

To top this off, is it possible to pre-fill a form field with text that will disappear when the person types in the field? E.g the text field will be pre-filled with "Name" until the person types in their name.

And how will this work in conjunction with the shading options?
