Yes - but only if the form is to be printed singly (not as part of a
print group). However the communication works between Calyx & Word,
the printing of the Ask-using document seems not to completely release
before the next doc starts up - which halts the process there.

I haven't had a reason to try it, but it's possible an Ask-doc could
be the final one in a print group.

My only practical form is an invoice we generate on behalf of a
processing company who use a unique Invoice No. that needs to be hand-
entered.

The Ask field is a bit disconcerting, because the Point screen doesn't
clear before the "Ask" prompt pops up. It would be preferable if a
print preview launched, then the pop-up; it would give the prompt
context. So the prompt has to be wordier than just "Enter No."
