SYMPTOMS
In previous versions of Word, the WordBasic "MailMergeInsertFillin" command
causes the Fillin Field to prompt the user upon execution of the command.
This behavior has changed when you use this command with the Visual Basic
for Applications WordBasic object. The "WordBasic.MailMergeInsertFillin"
command does not automatically update the field to prompt the user.
