MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / November 2003mail-merge makes faxes illegible
When we use mail merge and then fax the word document through our fax program we have some client's who can't read the data in the merged field because the background highlight in the field is too dark. Is there anyway to make the highlight around the merged field dissappear? Does it make any difference if you change Word Tools|Options|View|Field shading to "Never" before you merge? (Which version of Word?) -- Peter Jamieson MS Word MVP > When we use mail merge and then fax the word document > through our fax program we have some client's who can't > read the data in the merged field because the background > highlight in the field is too dark.

This could be related to a problem in Word 2002 where any field highlighting is printed if you are printing from Normal View (and faxing works via a printer driver). So you could try either switching off field highlighting in Tools|Options|View and/or switching to Print Layout before merging. -- Peter Jamieson MS Word MVP -- Peter Jamieson MS Word MVP > Does it make any difference if you change Word Tools|Options|View|Field > shading to "Never" before you merge?

Do you mean the gray field shading? Have you tried setting that to "never" in Tools/Options/View?
