load form into word upon opening

[marilyn]

I have a form that I have created in word using VBA, how do I call it up
automatically when MS Word opens? What is the code and where do I put it?

Thank you,

Hi, Marilyn. Try this:
Sub Document_Open()
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

If it's a template, change the name to Sub Document_New()
The sub goes into ThisDocument.

Thank you Anne, It is not a template, I designed the form using VBA Forms and
called it Userform1. I am a newbie at this so please just be patient with me.
Once this has been accomplished I need to figure out out to break the form
down into two pages and then add a table. I keep telling myself one step at a
time and I will get it.

Why are you using a userform in the first place? Sounds like you should be
using this:

I have been working with access and just trying to learn it on my own. This
form will work just great, Thank you! Thank you!

You're welcome! It's a lot like people who search for help on a checkbox end
up using the Control Toolbox instead of the Forms Toolbar, and it's just a
crying shame. Good luck! You'll likely be much happier with this method.
