How can I change this? I tried in the formatting and it would change it.

I am assuming that this is in the mail merge main document, in which case
you have the shading of fields turned on. I can be turned off via the
Options facility in Word. However, when you execute the merge, the fields
will be replaced by the text from the data source and there will be no
shading.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
services on a paid consulting basis.
