Ask and Ref Fields

[Guest]

I am trying to create a legal pleading template and I want to have ask fields
for defendant name, Case number, etc. Can I do this using Ask and Ref fields?
And if I can, how do I automate it so that every time I open that template it
asks for the pertinent information? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See the tutorial at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm#Tutorials but
also consider using a UserForm which would be much more gentle to your
users. 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://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Recent transfer from Word Perfect land?

Hope this helps,
