I am trying to make a form where users can fill in there information. I need the text box to tell the user what information goes into it, but to disappear once clicked on to type in. For example, it would say "Name", but upon clicking the field to put your name, "Name" would disappear. Is this possible?

Right click the text box, go down to Properties and click.

On the General tab is a box for a Tool Tip. Enter the instructions in the box, close and save.

When the user mouse over the text field, the instructions will appear and disappear when the user clicks into the field.
