how do i use the 'fill in' function on a word doc?
i cannot get the fill in function to work on a word doc. basically i need
to send a standard letter to different people. instead of typing in a different address and printing out each letter individually etc i wanted to use the fill in function to prompt me. I have tried to go by the Office Assitant help (which is about as user friendly as a chocolate teapot!!!) Its full of references to switches and prompts etc but when ive tried to set it up, the {FILLIN prompt doesnt appear anywhere and when ive saved the letter and re-opened it i have no idea how to get it to prompt me for the new data. Somebody pleeeeeeeeeease help before the pc gets chucked across the room!! thanks lots |
