I need to remove shading of a FORMTEXT Field on The Exit Macro...
Hi,
My FormText Fields on my document are shaded GRAY (text only). I want to write a bit of code that will remove that shading (to white) on the Exit Macro for the Field. I can do this for Cells, but don't know how to do it when just the TEXT is shaded.
Thanks :)

You may have misunderstood what I am looking for.
What I am doing rather than using the FORM FIELD shading tool is selecting each field and shading them individually as TEXT rather than as a FormField. That's why I though I might be able to change it, by adjusting the TEXT shading.
Couldn't I do something like tell Word to look for any Text in the active cell and shade it white? That may work.
I don't use the built in Form Field Shader as it is too dark.

P.S., how do you refer to an InlineShape Object when tryin to pass it to a Sub as an Object when you know the shapes name? I know we were able to get there with a For Each...Next Loop, but I can't seem to get it to work stand-alone.

Sorry I'm slow getting back to you on this one Graham, great solution :)
Quick question. I may go a slightly different direction, but not sure how to do it.
Let's say I have a FormField in a cell and I want to change the Cell Backcolor light gray when I enter the Field and, back to white when I exit the field. How would that work?

It's the button next to the padlock on the Forms toolbar, or it's this property:
ActiveDocument.FormFields.
