Default

Hi Andy,

Are you familiar with FILLIN fields?
1. You can specify a default response by coding the field along the lines of:
{FILLIN "Please Input Something" \d "Default Response"}
2. The default response appears in the input box, which is itself below the propmt.
3. The prompt cannot be displayed in a bold font (unless, perhaps you change some Windows font settings - which will affect all apps and in places where is might be undesirable).
4. You can have a line of bold text in the document with:
'1. Reference Number and Date'
immediately above the FILLIN field, which can also have the same prompt. The user's response can be formatted however you want it. Thus, you can have:
'1. Reference Number and Date'
'XXXXXX/22JUL11'

See attached.
