We start by looking at simple fill-in fields to create a document reminiscent of a mail merge in that it consists of "boilerplate" text plus text inserted by a field - in this case a fill-in field rather than the kind of mail merge field you worked with earlier.
Then we look at other kinds of form fields that can be inserted using the Forms toolbar.
NOTE: - A handy shortcut key combination is Alt-F9, which toggles between viewing and hiding the form field codes. It allows you to check whether you have used the correct field and to see whether you have accidentally added a field which you cannnot see.
