Is there a simple way to have the user tab to certain fields in a form,
replacing existing instructions on how to fill out that particular field.

for example:

[click here to fillout name, email, address]

basically....when the user clicks on above it replaces it with what is typed.
thanks
 
If you're using a protected form
(http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=22), open the text
field's Properties dialog and enter your instructions in the Default Text
area of the dialog.

If you aren't using a protected form, use a MacroButton field that points to
a nonexistent macro
