Field codes: Fill-in field

"Prompt"

Text displayed in the dialog box, for example, "Enter the client's name:"

\d "Default"

Specifies a default response if you type nothing in the prompt dialog box. The field { FILLIN "Enter typist's initials:" \d "tds" } inserts "tds" if no response is entered.

If you don't specify a default response, Microsoft Word uses the last response entered. To specify a blank entry as the default, type empty quotation marks after the switch; for example, type \d "".

\o

Prompts just once during a mail merge instead of each time a new data record is merged. The same response is inserted in each resulting merged document.

This FILLIN field helps you fill in the correct information by displaying the patient name from the current data record; for example, "Please enter the appointment time for Mindy Martin." Insert an ASK or FILLIN field in the main document, and then insert the merge field in the field codes.

{ FILLIN "Please enter the appointment time for { MERGEFIELD PatientName }:"}
