Default Limited success

Hi,

I've had some limited success. I dropped a Rich Text Content Control into my document and then inserted a merge field into that. When I ran the merge the expected data was correctly populated. However I have a couple of issues.

Elsewhere on the document I have plain formtext fields that display with a grey background, offering a visual clue to the recipient that data is required. Is there a way that I can make the Rich Text Content Control appear that way, particularly if it's empty?

Also I noticed that when the document is protected with editing restrictions you can't fill in the RTCC like you can the formtext fields. Is there a workaround for that?

Thanks very much for your assistance so far.
