    Text Box Default Value

    I have a text box on my form. It is there so that users can copy text
    to it and edit the text then copy that out and use in another program.
    Is it possible to have a default value show up and then users can add
    to it. For instance, the default text needs to be:

    Dear,
    Thank you for contacting us, I apologize for the delay in responding
    to your inquiry.

    After the end of the sentence we need to be able to paste in standard
    responses and edit them as needed.

    Because this text box is not linked to a table, it is just a box on
    the form, I don't know if this is possible. Also keep in mind, the
    records will be locked so no changes can be accidentally made.

    Any thoughts or how to's?

    Yes, just paste your text into the text box's Default Value property,
    surrounded by quotes.
