Default Text Field [content control] - Default text color vs Filled Text color

Hi Folks,

I am making a form in Word 2013 and would like to have the default text in my text fields to be a light grey - but when someone fills in the box, the new text should be black. I have tried changing it in and out of design mode - but every time I change the default text color to grey, the color of the text that gets typed into the field by the user also turns to grey.

How can I change the default text color - without also changing the color of the text that gets typed into the field by the end user?

Thanks very much,
