    Optional Object. The text that's displayed in the dialog box.
  • DefaultFillInText
    Type: System.Object%
    Optional Object. The default response, which appears in the text box when the dialog box is displayed. Corresponds to the \d switch for an FILLIN field.
  • AskOnce
    Type: System.Object%
    Optional Object. True to display the prompt only once instead of each time a new data record is merged. Corresponds to the \o switch for a FILLIN field. The default value is False.

Remarks

When updated, a FILLIN field displays a dialog box that prompts you for text to insert into the document at the location of the FILLIN field.
