How do I create a field entry that replaces a text?
I'm trying to create a form where people can insert their information.
For example, [Name] [Telephone Number] [Address] When someone clicks on these texts inside the brackets, the whole text is highlighted, and can be replaced with his actual name, number, etc. How do I create these insert fields? |

If the only edits allowed in the form are the ones you specify, you could use formfields in conjunction with 'filling in forms' protection. See:

If you do not want the rest protected from user modification, the classic method is that used in the oldest templates - the MacroButton Field prompt.
