Optional Sections

[Tom]

I am new to InfoPath. In a form I am creating, I have a good number of
optional sections. When I preview the form, I see a bunch of "Click here to
insert" tags but no description as to what I will be inserting.

Is there a way to modify that tag (Example: Click here to insert "My
Optional Section")?

Its Simple. In Design mode right click the section and go to properties. At
the very end of the form there is a Show Insert button and Hint Texts there
is text box. Change the text box. Thats it

Thanks Ameet ... this is a GOOD answer.

I had a little difficulty following your advice at first, but it finally
made sense. It could be I was taking your directions too literally (my
problem).

For those who might read this later, allow me to clarify the sequence of
steps:

1) Right-click on the tab of an "Optional Section" or a "Repeating Table"
2) When the menu pops up, select the "Properties" entry (may be Section or
Repeating Table properties). A tabbed dialog will pop up with "Data" tab as
its default.
3) At the bottom of the "Data" tab, click the checkbox labeled "Show insert
button and hint text".
4) In the now available text box, type in what you want the user to see.

When you go into Preview Form, you will see a small ball icon where the
optional sections reside. The text you typed in Step 5 (above) will appear.

Again, thank you Ameet!

Sorry my fault. That happens when you type it in a hurry.

thanks for posting it in detail.
