Hi mca,

If you mean a hidden bookmark, the answer is to prefix its name with an
underscore (eg the field {SET _BkMrk "This text is attached to a hidden
bookmark"} creates a hidden bookmark, but the field's contents can still be
accessed via a REF field {REF _BkMrk})

Cheers

Are you perhaps asking about the { ASK } field? It prompts users and allows
an answer. Neither the prompt nor the answer appear directly in the document
at the field location. The answer is in a hidden bookmark that is used with
a REF field elsewhere. I assume you could do the same with a SET field which
would not have an input box.
