My terminology may be off as I'm a bit of an Acrobat newbie as well. They're called bookmarks in Word, and while yes they can be fields, they can also contain static text and table rows, etc. If I use a button, am I able to put a table within a button, or is there some other way of doing this to indicate I want to remove a certain row.

I do think they have the whole document generation process backwards. Instead of starting with a blank document and adding stuff, they start with a template which has everything on it and remove unnecessary things. I'll do a search on the terms you have suggested in this message though and post again if I have any more questions.
Thanks again -- Stuart
