Hi everyone



First time post so hopefully I am playing by the rules.]

I have a file which is used to evaluate students (in Spanish) which a series of content control boxes that appear in grey before content is added by the user. I would like the colour to change to black when the user adds his/her content but but the problem I am experiencing is that it is only working for 'T1 tarea nota' field and the rest seem to just stay 'greyed out' with content that is input.

I have changed the colour in the properties field from automatic to black but still I get grey.

Hope someone can help me out!

John

In the ones that work the way you want, you have placeholder text formatted as such. In the ones that are not working, you have placeholder text formatted as grey. The first is the default; it is the way content controls are inserted.

Click in the first one that works, Press Ctrl+Shift+C (Copy Formatting). Then click in each of the ones that are not working and press Ctrl+Shift+V (Paste Formatting) to paste the formatting. I suspect you typed something in one of the original controls and then typed in the placeholder text and formtted it as grey. To change the placeholder text, you want to be in design mode.

Here are some links that may help with Content Controls.
