RE: Creating fields dave 05.09.2006 20:59:02 - easiest thing to do is create a new document from the letter & fax template, then just copy & paste the field(macrobutton) u want. Thats what I just did, i just wanted the user to enter their name, thats it. hope this helps "Boenerge" wrote: [Quoted Text] > How do I create a field to ask the user to enter information e.g. insert name > (displayed on the screen, and allowed to be typed over), which will allow > them to insert text/numbers? > Thanks in advance

Re: Creating fields ben h <hairyguard-newsgroups[ at ]yahoo.co.uk> 07.09.2006 00:32:24 Which I guess is a roundabout way of adding a 'Text Form Field'. Do this: View menu > Toolbars > 'Forms' The Forms toolbar has buttons for adding text form fields, drop-downs, etc. Add a form field, then right-click and choose Properties to enter a prompt (default text), select the allowed input etc. Ben dave wrote: [Quoted Text] > - easiest thing to do is create a new document from the letter & fax > template, then just copy & paste the field(macrobutton) u want.
