Form Fields
How do you put text in a field to tell the reader what to put there in
Microsoft Word 2003? I want to be able to put something like "Amount" in a text field and have it disappear when the field is going to be filled in so that the writer can just type the amount and not have to delete any text. Plesae help! |

Form Fields
Unless you're creating a protected form, I find the MacroButton NoMacro the
easiest approach. You've probably seen this concept implemented in some of the templates that ship with Word, where there is a field that displays, for example, "[Click here and type name]." For instructions on how to create them (it's really quite easy), see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm -- Suzanne S.
