Property Value

Type Description
FormFieldTextType

One of the FormFieldTextType enumeration values indicating the help text type.

Available values:

Name Description
Auto

One of the AutoText gallery’s entries.

Custom

Custom help text.

Remarks

The help text is defined by the FormField.HelpText property. When the HelpTextType property is set to FormFieldTextType.Auto, the help text should be equal to one of the AutoText gallery entries. Otherwise, the FormField.HelpText value is set to null when opening it in another word processing tool.

The AutoText contents are not embedded to the document. When the document with the form field whose HelpTextType property is set to FormFieldTextType.Auto is opened on another machine, the FormField.HelpText value is set to null as well.

Use the FormField.StatusText to specify the help text shown in the status bar.

RichEditControl cannot display this type of help text.
