Hi guys,
I'm trying to create a word docment with a series of "blank" areas in it. At
present they just have pink writing within them. I am looking now at being
able to label these blank areas. I.E what powerpoint does with its faded text
when you insert a text box. So that it will say for example "Insert Date
here" then when a user puts the date in it will remove the string of text and
replace it with what ever has been typed. Anythoughts would be greatly
appriciated.
cheers,
steve

Look into macrobutton fields. You can see samples of these in many of the
built-in templates. See
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/fields.htm#MacroButton and
