Default Either or text


What I want to do is place some text in a document to give the user a choice. I would like it to look like (red) (blue) where the editor can select or click on one option and have the other option and brackets disappear. I guess I could do this with a control box but I have trouble getting the document to print without showing the control box. This seems pretty simple but so am I. Could someone give me some help?

I would do it with a pair of macrobutton fields. Each field would be in a bookmark. The macros would operate to delete the text in the other bookmark and then unlink the remaining field. You can set the document so that a single click runs the macro.

For it to be more advanced, or if you want more text than can be in a macrobutton prompt, you could use AutoText. See the checkbox Add-In template on my Downloads page for an example of a macrobutton that inserts AutoText. In that case, the AutoText is another MacroButton, but it could be anything that AutoText can handle.
