"Fill In" field formated to keep initial response permanently?

[Guest]

I have a template that uses a Fill In field to identify the creator of the
the new document. These documents are used by multiple users; however, I want
for the identity of the original author to be retained in the document.

I used this funtion in past versions of Word and was able to retain that
data with no problem. However, in Word 2003 everytime I print one of these
documents the dialoge box pops up with the prompt to "Enter Your Name."

Again, in prior versions I was never asked to update that information after
the initial creation of that document. Can someone walk me through how to
make that initial response a permanent part of the document?

Thanks!

Use a DOCPROPERTY Author field instead. Then the user will not have to
enter their name for each document.
