How to create a template in word step by step

[Johanne]

I need to create a template, a proposal document for our estimating dept.

Each proposal has a different date, contact person, construction company,
address, office #, Fax #, project name, city, sate

I created a template years ago with the "grey cell" so when the user hit
enter it brings you to the next cell that needs to be completed...that's the
kind of template I would like to create.

Johanne,

Years ago folks went to town with horse an buggy. There are much better
alternatives these days. If you want to stick with tried and true then see:

otherwise I recommend you try a userform:
