Fillin fields
I have a template that I'm using and wanted to know if I can insert the
fillin field in certain places of the document. I don't want the fillin question asked when the template opens but when I reach a certain point in the document. For example, I type notes for newborn babies and in the tempate there is certain info that is needed only for the admission note (birthweight, gestational age, age of mother, method of delivery, etc). The admit info is part of a drop down menu, and once you click "Delivery" and tab, the admit info is all in one shaded box and you have to click and hit the space bar to insert info needed for the admission. I'd like to be able to type in the info needed on request. Can this be done? |
