F9 to update fill in fields
Hi Martina,
The process you're describing seems correct, except that ther should not be a comma after 'FILLIN'. After creating the field,
selecting and pressing F9 should generate the prompt.

Hi macropod,
I too am having the same problem as Jeaneb, I've tried your suggestion of
Ctrl-F11 to no avail. Its been so long since i've used these prompts that i
can't really remember if i'm typing the correct words - this is what i have
been doing:
Ctrl F9 to get the { } up.
Typing: Fillin, "Date" within { }
Am i using the wrong words - is this why i'm not getting the prompt boxes?
Any help would be much appreciated i really miss this way of doing things.

Hi Jeanneb,
The F9 approach still works in Word 2007. Are you sure you haven't locked the field (Ctrl-F11)? You can unlock it via
Ctrl-Shift-F11.

In prior versions of MS Word I could click on a Fill-in Field and hit F9 and
a box would pop up to enter my information in. That no longer works. Is
there a different method used in Office 2007 to get that to work?
