SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Word for Windows 95, Field shading may extend beyond the end of the field to the end of the current line.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when all of the following conditions are true:


 * The Field Codes check box is selected (it contains a check mark) -and-


 * Field Shading is set to When Selected -and-


 * The insertion point is on the field

This also happens when these conditions are true:


 * The Field Codes check box is selected (it contains a check mark) -and-


 * Field Shading is set to Always

Note that if you clear the Field Codes check box, if you place the insertion point on the result of a field, Word will highlight only the results of the field and not text that may follow the field.



WORKAROUND
To avoid this display problem, either clear the Field Codes check box or set Field shading to Never. To locate these options, click Options on the Tools menu, and then click the View tab.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows 95 version 7.0. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
