Default Text Field (Forms)

How can I make the document adjust itself (move up a space) if I leave a text
field empty?

Default Text Field (Forms)

You can place the field at the beginning or end of a paragraph (which
contains other text). Then an empty field would just display the default
text when it wasn't filled out.

On the other hand, if the field is in a paragraph of its own, I don't think
there is a way to have the field delete the paragraph when it's empty
(except for the field), if that's what you are asking. *Maybe* a macro could
do this, but you would have to ask in a programming newsgroup such as
microsoft.public.word.vba.general.
