How do I create hidden instructions for a Word template?

[Guest]

Trying to create a form for my staff to fill in as a report. I am wanting to
have an overall set of instructions that are hidden and that wont print. I
also want to have instructions in the fields where they will overtype the
instructions and their responses left in the document not the template.

Sorry if this seems very basic, but this is the first time I've attempted
this type of document template.

Thanks

Create an autonew macro in the document template:

Sub AutoNew()
MsgBox "Refer to status line at bottom of screen for field entry details"
End Sub

This will display the message each time a new document is created from the
template.
In the form field properties, set help text, which will be printed on the
status bar as suggested by the pop up message.
