Removing Quotation Marks in Field Display Text

R

I'm creating a template for a business document and am inserting several
"MacroButton" fields within the document. In the Field Properties section
where I select "AcceptChangesSelected" for the Macro Name there is the option
of entering Display Text. My issue is that whenever I add display text, the
resulting text is displayed in the document with quotation marks around it (e.
g., "<Hospital Name>") even though I didn't add them. There must be some way
to remove these quotation marks because I have seen other documents that
others have created with the same field properties but no quotation marks.
Of course, when the user goes in and edits the field, the quotation marks
don't show up so it's not a HUGE issue, but it makes the template look more
professional without the quote marks.

If you add the field code directly in the text, without using the dialog box,
no quotation marks will be included. Here's how to do it: Place the insertion
point where you want the field. Press Ctrl+F9 to add field delimiters, { }.
Type MACROBUTTON followed by the macro name and the display text.

To edit existing field codes: Press Alt+F9 to show field codes. Clear the
quotation marks as desired. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide
the field codes.

Note that many fields may require quotation marks (at least if the field
instructions include spaces).
