Hi Users,
I'm using version 2.0 of OO here at work. I periodically receive
forms with input fields filled in and which I am supposed to add to.
The fields contain no information, but only say " input field". When
I click on a field, a box opens with 2 windows: top window says "Text
3", bottom window has the information I want in the box. I can't
import that information into the page. I've tried the stuff from
"help" below, but am stumped. OO 2.3 at home has no problem with
the fields, and they appear correctly. What's going on? Sounds like
a security issue!
