THis link does not help me get rid of the "Click Here" in the grey boxes. I figured out how to tab to each box directly, but cannot get rid of the words in the boxes.
I have some questions that must be answered before I can even begin to
guess what you're looking at.
1. What version of Word are you using?
2. What are the "grey boxes"? If you press Alt+F9, do they change to
field codes (text contained in bold curly brackets)? If so, what is
the text of the field codes?
3. How did you create the form, step by step?
The reason I ask these things is that form fields, as described in the
article I mentioned before, don't have any text in them by default. If
there is any "Click here" text, you must have put it there by filling
in the "Default text" box in the field's Properties dialog. Assuming
you didn't do that, then the grey boxes must not be form fields.
If you're using Word 2007, they could be content controls, which do
have default text, but they aren't what I'd call grey boxes.
Please relieve my confusion, so that I can help you.
