Go to a bookmark in the header in New Doc

[ItsBarbara]

Is there a way I can have the user go to a bookmark in the header upon
opening a template for the first time?I'm trying to make a document more
user friendly. The document is one created by the district that everyone on
staff needs to complete and there are a variety of abilities. I added a
hyperlink (hidden text) to get them out of the header after they enter the
Header Data....but many are frustrated upon getting into the header....

It is much easier to have a userform (or an InputBox if the text to enter is
short and simple) by means of which the user can type the desired text.
Then, the code inserts the text in the header without opening it.

Here is a simple example with an InputBox (You will need a Bookmark named
"Test" in the main header of section #1.)

'_______________________________________
Dim strText As String

strText = InputBox("Type your text:", "Header Data")

'Will equal "" when user hits Cancel
If strText = "" Then Exit Sub

ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary) _
.Range.Bookmarks("Test").Range.Text = strText
'_______________________________________
