Jim is correct about using the Ask field rather than the FILLIN field. Just think of the time and effort you could save using these fields! I can think of many, many instances where you have a document with boiler-plate language and only a few variables, such as contracts, Last Will and Testament, Powers of Attorny, etc. Once you have keyed in all the variables in your document, you will be returned to your doucment where you can make any changes you deem necessary.

Continue through your document doing the same for each prompt.

Key in the variable information and click OK.

When your document opens, the first prompt will appear.

You can now add a specific pompt as a guide to users.
