Prevent Highlighting of Editable Fields in Protected Table
I have a protected document that has a few editable cells in a table. When I
open the file, those fields are highlighted. I know how to turn them off after opening the file but how can I have highlighting be off automatically when I open the document? I'm using Word 2003 and I keep the file read only so I don't mistakenly save over the blank one.

I'm guessing you're referring to the "Highlight the regions I can edit"
option in the Protect Document task pane? As far as I know, that option cannot be turned off permanently. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "StonyCreeker" wrote in message ...

I would save the document as a template - that way you are not going to
write over it when you create new documents from it. If you turn off the form field shading before saving the template, it will remain off for new forms you create from it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org StonyCreeker wrote: Thanks for the info.

I tried this but unfortunately it didn't work. I still have yellow boxes
with brown borders. "Graham Mayor" wrote: I would save the document as a template - that way you are not going to write over it when you create new documents from it.

The form field shading that Graham is referring to is a different thing.

I see. He meant the shading of FORM FIELDS that can be toggled from the
forms toolbar. Thanks for the clarification.
