Question about auto-fill form
Hi,
I made a form in Word 2007 and inserted several Plain text control boxes that can be typed in. My question.. if they decide to leave a line blank, is there any way to tell it NOT to print "click here to enter text" ? So that the line will be blank when printed and can be written in by hand later? I know they can just click on it and delete it, but I wondered if there was an easy way? Thank you.. Deb |

Hi Deb,
About the only way to do that would be to use a macro to alter the unfilled controls' content to, say, a space character.

Thanks Paul, I think I will just use the backspace button. Sounds alot easier. Deb

Hi Deb,
Actually, you should be able to achieve the same result via Find/Replace, where: Find = Click here to enter text. Replace = space(s) or alternative text (eg N/A).
