|
|
Hello,
I received some template word 2003 files recently. When I opend them, I am
prompted for information from something that looks like an input box.
(e.g. What is your city of birth?) when I input Toronto, and press ok,
Toronto is populated into a certain section of the word document.
Thing is, there are no macros. What is this thing?
Thanks,
Ivan |

It sounds as if there are FILLIN fields or ASK fields in the document. Try to
press Alt+F9 to toggle field codes – this will show you the field code of any
field.
