Instantly find all the fields in any document (MS Word)

Using fields in your documents is a convenient way to retrieve and update all kinds of information automatically. However, as handy as fields may be, they can be difficult to pinpoint when you need to edit them.

One way you can make fields stand out is to apply permanent onscreen shading. To do so, choose Tools Options from the menu bar (Edit Preferences in Word 2004), and then click on the View tab. In the Show panel, select Always from the field shading dropdown list, and then click OK.

In addition, you can easily locate fields by jumping to them. To jump forward from field to field, press [F11]. To jump backward from field to field, press [Shift][F11].
