Xrefs from Form Fields not Visible

I've got a form that uses xrefs (bookmarks) to repeat field text elsewhere in
the doc. Some of the xrefs are showing up as gray boxes, but not all are. The
xrefs are functional even if invisible.

Removing the \h switch from the xref fields and updating the field does not
cause the field to become gray. The paragraph style is the same for both
visible and invisible xrefs.

I'd like them all to be shown as gray boxes so that my (tech-unsavvy) users
can see that the fields are actually there.

I do have Show Bookmarks (and Field Shading) checked ON in Word Options.

Thanks...
 
In the Text Form Field Options dialog box, specify some "Default text"; that
way, the form field shading will be visible in the REF fields.
