Changing Unanswered Text Markers

Problem

When I leave questions in the interview unanswered, HotDocs merges asterisks in the assembled document where the answer is supposed to go. I'd rather have it insert blank lines or something else less obtrusive. Can I change this?

Solution

You can choose the unanswered marker HotDocs uses when you leave questions unanswered in the interview. For details, see Format Unanswered Variables in a Document.

The template provider may have selected a specific unanswered marker for some questions in the interview. If this is the case, these markers will override your selection.
