Template Question
I am creating word templates for my office, and I have a question. I noticed
on some of Microsoft's own templates they have certain Field's where the user see's the grey text box with insturctions in it on what to type. For instance on one of the Resume templates their is a address field that reads "type address here". My question how can I create those blank fields with instructions in them on what I want the user to type. Thanks Brent Backman |
