Can anyone direct me to a source or provide details of placing instructions or notes in Word documents. I need to have them very obvious beciayse no one every pays attention to the status line. As an example, place instructions to complete the File>>Properties>>Title
 
Thomas,

You could use the following code in a autonew macro to
instruct users to provide a document title:



Dim Title As String
Title = InputBox("Enter Document Title", "Title")
ActiveDocument.BuiltInDocumentProperties(wdPropertyTitle)
= Title

Hi Thomas,

Using 'Hidden' Text is one way, and works unless your users have Word
configured not to display it. Another way, using Word fields, is explained
in the zipped Word document at:
