Word fillin fields
I am trying to create some new templates, previous people have used fillin
fields. Some of these documents are to be mailmerged, some are just forms to be used internally by several people. The original templates I was given opens showing all the document text and the fillin fields prompt boxes open throughout the document as set up. When I have tried to create my own template with fillin fields the documents open opening the fillin prompts but do not show the document text which will be confusing for users to understand the context of the document. I have looked at the field codes and can't see any difference. Am I missing something vital in the document setup? Thanks for any advice -- Regards Finlzo |

Word fillin fields
A better approach may be to use a UserForm.
See the article "How to create a Userform" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm However, when you use the InsertField dialog to insert a Fill-In field, you have the opportunity to create a prompt for the field. -- Hope this helps.
