Prompted form filling mechanism

摘要

A prompting form-fill mechanism is provided which interactively populates data fields on electronic forms or other documents from prestored data fields. The first data field to be populated is determined and hi-lighted, then a user selects a prestored data field to copy into the first data field. The form-fill mechanism then automatically copies the information from one data field to the other. After populating the first data field, the form-fill mechanism hi-lights the next data field to be populated. This procedure is continued until all data fields are populated.
