Is there a way , to create somekind of document template within an open text field. Been Told by SFDC support that you have to create a formula to push text
example :
TEXT (ABCDEF)
TEXT (ENTER INFO)
Is there an easy way to acheive this ........
Tried and it doesn not work.
Any hint someone .
Thanks

If I am understanding correctly, you are asking if there is a way to have a field long text area, and build a template within it... and have certain areas populate based on other fields or formulas?
If this is the case you cannot create a field within a field, and you cannot run a formula within a long text area (a formula is a field type it's self remember).
I do not see anything wrong with typing out a template and using underscores, copying, pasting, and removing the blanks. That is the only way you are going to achieve what you are looking for if I understand your question.
If that is the case, I would simply create a custom field on the record, Long Text Area, and populate that area. Then every time you would like to send an e-mail, simply copy and paste from that LTA. The only problem with this setup is, you will have to enter the template into every record created. It may be a better alternative to look into help and training and use an actual e-mail template.
