There is _javascript_ that will change the form field color on focus and blur. Once the script is written it can be called as a function in each form field by setting the actions in the properties tab on focus or on blur run a _javascript_ which would be ChangeColor ();.

This _javascript_ highlights in yellow;

function ChangeColor()
{
var MyField = event.target;
color.ltYellow = new Array("RGB",1,0.994,0.820);

if(event.name == "Focus")
MyField.fillColor = color.ltYellow;
else if(event.name == "Blur")
MyField.fillColor = color.transparent;

if(event.name == "Focus")
MyField.borderColor = color.black;
else if(event.name == "Blur")
MyField.borderColor = color.transparent;
}

function printButton()
{
var MyField = event.target;
color.ltYellow = new Array("RGB",1,0.994,0.820);
color.ltGray = new Array("G", 0.751);

if(event.name == "Focus")
MyField.fillColor = color.ltYellow;
else if(event.name == "Blur")
MyField.fillColor = color.ltGray;

if(event.name == "Focus")
MyField.borderColor = color.green;
else if(event.name == "Blur")
MyField.borderColor = color.black;
}

function tab()
{
var MyField = event.target;

if(event.name == "Focus")
MyField.borderColor = color.transparent;
else if(event.name == "Blur")
MyField.borderColor = color.transparent;
}

Hope this works for you.

Here is my question.  I have been converting numerous Word forms into Adobe and I have two problems: 
 
1.  When a form is converted it seems like all of the text is somewhat compacted.  It looks as though the spacing between lines, paragraphs, and words is minimized.  Many of my co-workers felt that the print was to small.  Each time I convert I use "Convert to Adobe from File".  Anyone have any ideas on how I can keep the sizing the same?
 
2.  Another question my co-workers posed after reviewing various converted Adobe forms was, "Is there a way to highlight where the form fields are located?"  As an example, in Word a form field takes on a light gray appearance which makes it easy for users to know where they need to type.  In Adobe you can change the color of the text field but if you do so that color or shading shows up once the finished form is printed.  Any suggestions?
 
I just want to say thanks to all of you who have helped me in the past couple of weeks.  Without your advice I would be in some trouble.  If my questions seem elementary I apologize but thanks for the assistance.
