It isn't clear what problem you are having, however there is an option for 'Field shading' in the 'Show document content' section within Advanced options.
If you are doing a Mail Merge, then you should be aware that many types of field are converted to fixed text. Form Fields and Mail Merge are not really compatible.
Is there a way to insert grey boxes for the person filling in the form so they can tab to that section?

I think that I have given sufficient information for you start producing a suitable document. That fact that you are no longer interested shouldn't prevent you from accepting the answer.
Basically, I think that the explanation of the constraints of the product plus the suggestions to take the requirement forward should have been enough. If not there could have been further follow-up requests for clarification.
