If you can do it manually, try recording a macro. It's not guaranteed, but there's a good chance that you will be able to see the method in the recorded code.

Using the Visual Studio 2010, I have successfully written a VB application that<br />
exports data from the application, to a Microsoft 2010 Word template.<br />
In the template I have created tags using the Word's Form Filed tool. &nbsp; <br />
These tags have a grey background color that appear on the screen and on the<br />
printed document. &nbsp;Using the Word's Legacy Tools button, I can clear this highlighting<br />
manually.<br />
<br />
My question is, within my code, can I programmatically remove this highlighting from the<br />
legacy text fields ?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
