How can I remove some (not all) fill-in fields from a document

[Indian Writer]

I added few fillin fields (Insert>Field>Fillin) in my User Guide and by
mistake some fields have been entered twice. Now when I update the document,
all prompts that were added twice are popping up again.

How do I delete fillin fields created by me - I don't want to delete all
fillin fields, just some on them.

Please help, I'm in a big fix

There is no automated way of removing just some of them. Only you would
know which ones it is that you want to delete.

Thanks! I am not looking for automated remove. For example, I created 2
fileds, 'Name' and 'Last Name'. I want to delete 'Last Name' filed, that is,
when I press F9, WORD should ask prompt me only for 'Name' and not 'Last
Name'

Thanks a lot for your help!

Press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of the field codes in the document and
you will see

{ FILLIN "Last Name" \* MERGEFORMAT }

Select it and delete it.
