Hi NISMOJim,

The grey shading you refer to suggests your previous document used fields of some kind (possibly formfields or mergefields). Mergefields would ordinarily look like '«MyField»', where 'MyField' is the field name. Opeing the old document and pressing Alt-F9 should also quickly tell you which kind you were working with. Mergefields would display as {MERGEFIELD MyField} and formfields would display as {FORMTEXT}. It's also possible your old code used custom document properties and these were used by Document property fields, which would display as {DOCPROPERTY MyProp}, where 'MyProp' is the property name.
