We have a number of template Word documents with placeholder text fields. In 
Word they are implemented with MacroButtons, with a macro that is not defined. 
When the user clicks the field, it is selected. So, if the user types any text, 
the field disappears. This is more or less what is desired, although the 
interface is not perfect.
But in OpenOffice the result is confusing for the user. In the imported 
document, there is a field with a macro called "DoFieldClick". When the user 
double clicks the field, a dialog appears allowing to edit the field 
properties. The user does not know what to do.
The ideal interface would be for us the same used in Impress templates, like 
the one that I am attaching. When the user clicks in the text, the text 
disappears, and the user types the replacement. If the user does not type 
anything and moves the cursor to another place, the placeholder appears again.
What is the preferred approach that we should develop?
