templates & fields

[Guest]

Whwn creating fields in templates is it possible to format/edit the shading
e.g. so that the shading stays when entering text? Also can you add text
such as "click here to type"? When I attempt to do this I am either unable to
enter information or I am faced with the format screen.
Thanks in Advance

instructions on creating "Click here to type" fields. For protected forms,
see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

The first is set from tools > options > View > field shading
The second is created using a macrobutton field -
