place holders in templates
I am creating a template and I want to create placeholders for users to
enter text in. I tried inserting a field of type fill-in, but that actually prompts the user with a dialog box. I've seen elsewhere where the field appears with a grey background and text something like [Text here]. The user can select the field and put there value in it, and when printed the entered text prints correctly (no grey background). How do I do this? As well, is it possible to enter instructional text below the field, and have that text only show when the user edits the document (not when the print)? |

Jeremy,
Maybe you can use a macrobutton field. See this excellent article: http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm Look for the section "Use Macrobutton field without a macro" -- Luc Sanders (MVP - PowerPoint) "Jeremy Chapman" please@Idontlikespam schreef in bericht ...

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...acroButton.htm (I think this
article is a little clearer than Graham's on this particular use of the MacroButton field). -- Suzanne S.
