Default Word options "field shading" reverts to "when selected"

In 2007, under Word Options / Advanced / Show document content / Field Shading, I select Always so that field values are always shaded, making them easy to find in the documents we share. However, over some indefinite time, the choice reverts to "When selected."



Is there something I'm doing wrong, or something I can do to lock my choice?

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.
