Sometimes I have to change many fields in MS Word. I usually "Toggle all
fields (Alt+F9)" or "Toggle each field individually (Sft+F9), and the proceed
to change the field command contents. However, when I toggle the field from
"actual representation" to "Edit", the format of the document is altered
(contents is pushed down, Tables and figures collapse, pages scrolls out of
focus etc...).
What I would find useful in word is to have a functionality similar to MS
Excel where: when the cursor enters the region of a field, the field command
is displayed in an editable textbox similar to the "Address" textbox on the
"Web" toolbar. The field command would not be displayed inline with the
text. Instead it would be displayed in the "Field Command TextBox" where I
can edit it and then when I press "Enter" or "apply" I see the result in my
document.
