Description danstrome 2002-07-15 03:01:50 UTC 
For text documents containing Input fields
(Insert > Fields > Other > Functions tab > Input field):

Instead of seeing the words 'Input field' in a gray 
box within the text of the document when the 'Edit File'
button is on, it might be better if the Prompt text 
or Reference text appeared there instead,
unless the Prompt text box is empty.

The input field would then read, for example,
'Enter the year' or 'Click to enter your name'
or whatever the Prompt text was.
It would only say 'Input field' if there was
no Prompt text.

The reference text could be multilined and not fit into that field.
Perhaps a tip help could show the reference text (if existing).
Considered for 'Office Later' as this area is no kefeature for the
OO.o 2.0.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
