Changing the color of the word {FIELD} in a Main merge document

[apasko]

In WordPerfect the {FIELD} codes are displayed in red so that when you
are creating the Main document, they stand out from the text of the
Main document. Is there a way to have the Word {FIELD} codes display
in a different color just when editing the Main document? When the
merge is completed, the document would all be in the regular black
font. Using 2002 with Windows XP.
Thanks.

Run the following macro:

Dim amf As Field
For Each amf In ActiveDocument.Fields
If amf.Type = wdFieldMergeField Then
amf.Code.Font.Color = wdColorRed
End If
Next amf
ActiveDocument.Fields.ToggleShowCodes

all be highlighted in grey.
