Word form fields

[Shane Nation]

I am using Word 2003 and I wish to have a couple of areas on the word
template that when I use the template for the 1st time it asks me to
complete some simple details, such as the author's name. I am sure this can
be done using "form fields" however I can't find out how. Is there anyway I
can find out how to do this?



Thanks



Shane

You could use form fields for this, but you might be happier with a
UserForm. For information on protected forms, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. For an
introduction to UserForms, see
