# About Fields

Fields are used for data that changes in a document, such as the current date or the total number of pages in a document.

## Viewing Fields

Fields consist of a field name and the field content. To switch the field display between the field name or the field content, choose View - Field Names.

To display or hide field highlighting in a document, choose View - Field Shadings. To permanently disable this feature, choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOffice - Application Colors, and clear the check box in front of Field shadings.

To change the color of field shadings, choose LibreOffice - PreferencesTools - Options - LibreOffice - Application Colors, locate the Field shadings option, and then select a different color in the Color setting box.
