Default FillIn Merge Field


Hi there -

I have a fill in field that looks like this:

{FILLIN \o "Enter the date of the letter. ie January 1, 2008}

I would like the date value to fill in automatically on page two of the
letter. How do I reference the value in the first fillin on the second
page?

Thanks,

Lorraine

Default FillIn Merge Field

Use an ASK field instead, and then reference the text of the bookmark that
is assigned to that field.

You might also take a look at the following page of fellow MVP, Greg Maxey's
website:
