Hi anthoffice,

Other than via the light shading that goes with the use of Content Controls (as per your document) Word has no such functionality. In your document, the content control properties are set for deletion when updated, so you lose even that kind of shading once you've input something.

Thanks for that macropod.
I can choose whether the content controls are set for deletion or not through the properties box (in the example, the 'hello' label does not get deleted).

OK, so you should be able to see that the content control shading changes as you move the mouse over each one. That's about the limit of Word's 'mouseover' text shading.
