Fields in a Table in a Header

L

L. Fisher

I am creating a template with multiple tables in a header and am also using field codes that others in the company can use to fill in information. I have this all set up, but have run into 1 inconvenience, everytime I print the new document, I must go through the "field codes" again.

Is there a way to stop having to go the the field codes everytime the document is printed?

Hi,

Basically there are two ways:

1. Use Tools|Options|Print and uncheck 'update fields'; or
2. Surround the existing fields with IF tests to check whether they've been
filled in. If you've used FILLIN fields, you'd have to change them to ASK
fields, like: {QUOTE{IF{BkMrk}= "" {ASK BkMrk "Please insert data
here"}}{BkMrk}}. Then, immediately before the field, with nothing selected,
add a bookmark named BkMrk. Of course, use your own bookmark names, and
don't use them for more than one ASK statement.

Cheers
PS: If you try this out, you'll find you can't update the field to delete
your test response. The trick is to recreate the empty bookmark before the
field.
