Creating disappearing text in a word doc.
I am attempting to create my own "template" for a word document that will be
used by others. I want to insert text, that when the user clicks on it it will disappear and allow them to add new text. If anyone knows how this is done , I would sincerely appreciate the help, please. I previously posted this in the templates page and got no answer . . . I know this is possible - but I can't find how to do it myself. -- Thanks and God bless you and yours, Gabriella777_2 |

However, I can make this work if there's not something else. Thanks, Greg ... that was some awesome turnaround! |

Creating disappearing text in a word doc.
Thanks everyone for your assistance. This was almost exactly what I was
looking for. When it worked I did a little dance! (Yes, I am easily amused! : ) ) Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks also for the quick response! -- Thanks and God bless you and yours, Gabriella777_2 "Chuck" wrote: "Greg Maxey" wrote: On Feb 9, 1:11 pm, Gabriella777_2 wrote: I am attempting to create my own "template" for a word document that will be used by others.

Creating disappearing text in a word doc.
Greg,
I'm using the {Macrobutton NoMacro ...} but having problems. 1) In the .DOT, I toggle all field codes to hide the {Macrobutton NoMacro and this works 2) If I close the .DOT, when reopened, all the Macrobutton fields are visible (field codes are NOT toggled). 3) worse, if I create a .DOC from the .DOT, all the {Macrobutton NoMacro field codes show up/are visible! Yikes, is this a bug? Should not the Macrobutton fields be not visible in a ..DOC created from the .DOT?

I'm not getting the text to disappear. The bookmark is in the .DOT, and I followed the linked instructions. I'll go back. I imagine folks have some way to debug/trace these things to see where the code is going awry? thanks Greg! |

Creating disappearing text in a word doc.
Sigh. If you've read this far, here's what I found ...
In Word, you can choose Tools Options and select the View tab. Under the "Show" section, you can unclick "Field Codes". Once you do this, .DOCs created from your .DOT do not present the field codes, and click and enter work as advertised.

A quicker way to show/hide field codes is to press Alt+F9.
