Template Question

[Guest]

I am creating word templates for my office, and I have a question. I noticed
on some of Microsoft's own templates they have certain Field's where the user
see's the grey text box with insturctions in it on what to type. For instance
on one of the Resume templates their is a address field that reads "type
address here". My question how can I create those blank fields with
instructions in them on what I want the user to type.

Thanks

This is usually a macrobutton field. See

There is an easier way I believe if you're referring to what I think...
Insert > Field > Fill-in
Once the document is saved as a template file it prompts the users with
message & input boxes to enter the text...

Nope, a fill-in field is something else entirely. backmanb is talking about
macrobutton fields.
