How do I use Fields inside a word document

[Medicjay]

Hello on my last job I pulled up a word document, once the document was
opened a pop up box appeared with several fields to fill in, once I filled in
the fields I could either add another record or press ok and all of the
information I just entered in the pop up box was entered into the appropiate
places in the working document. Do you know how I can set up one of these
types of documents on my own.

Sounds like this was a UserForm (a custom dialog box using visual basic for
applications programming). See
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm. You may also want
to look into what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
