Default resetting fill in forms

I have made a fill in form and im trying to see if it will re set the fields
after the user is done . As of know the if the user saves it will keep the
tex in the document. Im looking to see if it will reset on its own.

Default resetting fill in forms

Save the form as a template and then have the user use FileNew to create a
new document from the template each time that a new form is required. Then
no resetting is necessary.

Hope this helps.

That's not how forms are supposed to be used. The empty form should be saved
as a template, and new documents should be based on that template by
clicking File New. They'll automatically open with all the fields empty
(unless you created some default text in the template).
