I'm working on a form. I have created content controls for various items,
i.e., Name, Address. The default value is "Click here to enter text". I
want to modify these to say "Click here to enter Name" and "Click here to
enter Address". Every time I change one of them, it changes all of them to
read the what I just updated in the one. What do I need to allow me to
modify each one indiviually and have multiple values in the placeholder text?

I answered your identical question yesterday in the vba.general group
(http://www.microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx?dg=microsoft.public.word.vba.general).

I saw your response there. Is the only way to accomplish this is through a
VBA script? I assumed this would be Word functionality, not something that
had to be hard coded.
 
Thanks, Greg.

Regarding the macro: Since the original request was posted in the VBA
newsgroup, I assumed a VBA solution was what was wanted. If there are
a dozen or more content controls to modify, a macro is less effort
than going into the design mode display of each one manually.
