Inserting text

R

Robert

This is kind of a weird question, I hope I can explain it well.

I want to have a document kind of like a template where at certain points
text can be inserted. Not like a text box, but just text. For example,

Dear "Mr","Mrs" ____

On today's date, _____ etc...

So I could just type the document and open it whenever I want and those
certain spaces blank to where I can insert the text.

I know I probably didn't explain it very well, but I hope someone
understands what I'm looking for. Thank you very much in advance for any
help,

Rob

Rob,

What you are asking for is certainly possible, but let me suggest a
MACROBUTTON field for your purposes:

Open a new blank document and save it a template or .dot file in your
template directory. Lets call it MyLetter.dot

Type Dear Mr. and Mrs.
Now press CTRL+F9 to create field code braces { }
In the braces type MACROBUTTON NoMacro _______
Like this"
{MACROBUTTON NoMacro ___________ }
Press ALT+F9 to toggle the field display.
Save the template and close
Now use File>New to create a new document based on MyLetter template.
Click the blank line and type away.

HTH
