Thanks, Heretic, for responding.

Right-click and edit the properties of the text form field and enter

zSplash reckoned:

I have inserted a textbox in my document, and given it a result ("DC").
The
trouble is, when I protect the document for forms (so the user can tab
between the formfields), my "DC" as default text for the textbox is
"lost".
Any workaround?

TIA
