I have office 2003, 2007, 2008 and 2010.

So any help at all regarding my current frown would be wonderful.

I am TRYING to make a large amount of text be a field. So when the user rolls over the text they can read it, select it (goes away) and can then type in their own information. I have been successful in this aspect by just using Text Form Fields, but I've recently discovered that there is a character limit to this.

I know what i'm trying to do is possible because there are letter templates within word that have a large amount dummy text that is directly selectable (highlights) then allows the user to start typing which erases the dummy text. I've tried to view the field codes in these templates but I can't find one linked to the dummy text for this behavior.

thanks!
