25 +; Export template
26 +: By default, no template is used and exported file contains only the exported form. You can specify a template to insert the exported form into an existing document. For example, you could use a template to include a header page or to insert a header or footer. The exported form is appended to the end of the template document. To include the exported form at another position, you can use placeholder //INSERT_FORM//. This placeholder needs to be inserted as a form control element, see the [[Word Fill>>doc:Formcycle.UserInterface.MyForms.WorkflowProcessing.Actions.WordFill.PreparationWord]] action for details.
27 +; Use visible form placeholders {{version major="6" minor="4" patch="0"/}}
28 +: The form variables are used as element names (bookmarks) in the form elements of the Word file and are visible. Without this option, the placeholders are stored as help text. Input elements are then not visible in the Word document. (//Only works in Word documents//)
