After a Placeholder has been created, it can be inserted into a template.

To insert an existing Placeholder into a template:

  1. Place the cursor where the Placeholder should be inserted.
  2. On the Placeholder pane, expand a Placeholder type and select a Placeholder.
  3. Click Insert.
  4. The Placeholder is inserted into the template as:

    {[Placeholder Name]}

    Note:

    Inserting Fragment Placeholders into tables is not supported.

  5. Apply a font or style to the Placeholder, if necessary, using the Microsoft Word toolbar. Any fonts or styles used for the Placeholder will be used for the value that is inserted in the composed document. If no fonts or styles are applied to the Placeholder, the font and style will be inherited from the character prior to the Placeholder. If there are no characters prior to the Placeholder, the font and style will be inherited from the character following the Placeholder.
  6. Click Save Template.
