This suggests that some of Word's registry entries are damaged. You could try deleting the entries and reset all the options that you then lose.

Alternatively, you can run the following pair of auto macros:

Code:

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.FieldShading = 1   'always
End Sub
 
Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.FieldShading = 1   'always
End Sub

Place the macros in your Normal template. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
