How do I put click and type fields into templates
Many of the templates available from microsoft include fields that give
instructions like [type your name here] . on clicking on this field , it is replaced by whatever is typed. I can see how these use the 'Macrobutton DoFieldClick' instruction. However if I do - Insert - Field- and then select Macrobutton and DoFieldClick in the dialogue box and then enter -type your name here in the 'dispay text' box, what appears on the document is - "type your name Here". How do I get it so that the instruction appears in bold and without the quote signs as in the published templates. Some templates have the instuction with a grey background, but If I apply formatting to the field, the formatting remains with the text that is overtyped rather than reverting to the contextual formatting as with the published templates. Any help will be gratefully recieved |

Richard,
CTRL+F9 to enter a pair of field braces. In the braces type: MACROBUTTON NoMacro [Type your name here] Select the [Type your name here] and apply bold format. Toggle the field code. You should be set. |

How do I put click and type fields into templates
Thats great. but to take it another stage, can the macro grow so that when
the field has been entered, the cursor can go straight to the next field to be entered. ie I have a letter that needs various bits of info in different parts of a standard letter. All I want to do is have the cursor start at the first field them jump to the next field ech time i complete a field.

F11 will take you to the next field. Or you can use form fields, which allow
you to tab between fields. -- Suzanne S.
