    how can I shade one field in the middle a line

    For that you would use PCL (Printer Command Language) control codes. You can google 'PCL' and find reference documents on-line. PCL control is more commonly used to set properties for the entire printed page, i.e. landscape/portrait, font style/size, registration adjustment, etc. The catch...
