I’ve got Word 2003. I’m trying to set up a template for a report I have to write frequently. Much of the text is repeated from report to report. What I want to do is to set up the template so that I can type in the pieces of text that change from report to report. But, I don’t want to miss things, so I want, like, blanks or something. Or, like, little boxes in the template that I can type into which then won’t show up when the document is printed. I thought maybe the “Fields” feature of Word would do that, but it’s confusing to me.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I didn’t read it all, but maybe this can help you:

I guess you knew the most of what is discussed in here already and I’m not sure if the article covers the “fill-in fields”, but I’ll keep an eye out for it.
