Hi gurus,

I am trying to create a word document template that prompts the user for
informations when creating the document. I have managed to create a template
using the { FILLIN "Enter you name" } kind of field. So when the user
creates
a document from the template, the user is prompted for "Enter Your Name".
However, at this point, the document behind (in word) is still blank
(nothing
from the default text). It is only after the user has answered all the
questions that the document is shown.

Is there any way to show the document in the background when the user in
prompted for the fields ?

Many thanks

JM
