Solution to a Problem. Please advise..

[Dave]

Hi everybody,

I have a word document that I use as a template with a number of fields that
are updated by users e.g. Name, Address etc.

I would like a user to be able to load a template I have created, and be
presented with a pop up input box with the fields e.g. Name, Address etc.
that they can fill in and update the document.

This document will just be saved as a word doc with a particular name, which
can then also be put together from the input box e.g. WORD_NAME_DATE.doc

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Dave

http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm shows how to
make a custom dialog (called a userform) and transfer its data to the
document. The code that's shown there can also be expanded by writing an
ActiveDocument.Save statement to save the document with a name based on the
input.
