Hi Stefan;
this function is great. I can reset all the fields by clicking the Ctrl A
&
F9 button after I unprotect the file. All the default text and the first
line
of the drop down list still stays after I did the steps above, It's really
great!
Is there a way for us to do that when the form is being protected? Please
advice.
thanks in advance

It seems as if the default behavior in Word 2007 is not to reset the
fields.
But you can do this manually: Unprotect the document. Then press Ctrl+A
(to
select all) and press F9 to update fields.

Hi,
I apologize if I chose the wrong group, but there doesn't seem to be a
specific group for my question.
I have looked in Help, but cannot find the option that allows me to
clear
all the form fields in a form template after I'm done testing the
fields.
I could swear there was a way to do this in 2003.
I don't want to have to delete any test text manually, and possibly
also
delete the field in the process.
Does anyone know where the option is now?
Thanks!
