Field not show result
I have this field in a document:
Code:
{ TITLE { FILLIN "Title:" } } Is there a way to do that?

Alt+F9 to toggle display of field codes.
Look into using a MacroButton Field. |

You cannot do it that way. Use an ASK field instead.

Thanks.
I'm using a workaround to use this field in the first occurrence of the name field instead of a single name field. { TITLE { Name } }

Makes no sense at all that I can tell.

Works for me. I can do two things at once: I define the document title and show "Name" in the first occurrence of the Name in the document.
"Name" field is set elsewhere in the doc. I'm avoiding using the ASK field, because he only asks once and nothing else in the world makes him ask the value again, so I prefer FILLIN. Can't use VBA in this file, I'm creating DOTX templates. Thanks

Hi there! I found another workaround
Is to use the ADDIN field which remains hidden Code:
{ ADDIN { TITTLE {Name} }

So far as I can tell, all you're doing is nesting multiple levels of invalid fields.
The { Name } field on its own returns "Error! Bookmark not defined." The { Title } field on its own returns "Error! Bookmark not defined." The { Addin } field on its own returns "Error! Bookmark not defined." The {Title { Name } } field pair likewise returns "Error! Bookmark not defined." The { Addin {Title { Name } } } field set likewise returns "Error! Bookmark not defined." Why? Because Word has no such fields as Name or Title. If your installation supports either of these, it's because you have some kind of Word Addin installed.

Hi.
{ Name } Is an empty field ( CTRL+F9 ) which I type "Name" inside, doing this, the field become a "REF" field (no need to type REF). It is set elsewhere in the document, like this: Code:
{ SET Name { FILLIN "What's your name?" } }
