Adding Text Fields

[deniseandgavin]

I am working on a procurement document/form.

I need to provide fields where users enter their several line
comment. To handle this I have entered the field Macro Button and
used the DoFieldClick macro nameand then entered in the Display Text
"PLease enter your comments here. I have put this in a table one row
and one column wide so that as they enter text everything below moves
down.

Is this the best way to do it?

Using MACROBUTTON fields works well when you are creating simple
forms (as you have noticed); it is one of the methods mentioned at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm. Whether
it is the best method depends on what you are trying to achieve,
though... For example, if the data entered by users should be re-used
somewhere else in the document, a protected form might work better (see also
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Repeating_Data.htm).
