How do I setup a Word template to accept plain text in a "FIELD"?.

[Guest]

I'm trying to develop a Word Template with the following fields:
Name: "User enters name"
Address: "User enter address" , so on. This "template" will be brought up
in a Visual FoxPro application and saved as a Word document. When the
document is opened again, the information (Name / Address, etc.) will be
shown on the document that the user entered. Any ideas?

You could use a macrobutton field with a fake macro name. For example:
Name: {MACROBUTTON NoMacro Insert your name here}
Address: {MACROBUTTON NoMacro Insert your address here}
This kind of macrobutton field provides a prompt that disappears as soon as
the user starts typing into the field. To create such a field, press Ctrl-F9
to create the field braces '{}' then type the string 'MACROBUTTON NoMacro '
followed by your prompt within the field. When you're done press F9 to
update, then save your template.

Cheers
