HOW TO SET UP "FILL IN THE BLANKS" IN A WORD DOCUMENT

[PAMELLA]

I HAVE A WORD DOCUMENT THAT I WILL BE RE-USING, THERE ARE ONLY 3 AREAS THAT I
NEED TO CHANGE EACH TIME I USE THIS DOCUMENT.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOCUMENT AND JUST HAVE THOSE FEW PLACES EITHER
POP UP AND I CAN FILL IN THE INFORMATION, OR MAYBE THEY WILL BE HIGHLITED AND
i TYPE IN THE INFO, AND WHEN I TYPE THE NEW INFO, I DO NOT WANT THE REST OF
THE SENTENCE TO MOVE OUT..

For this type of application, a UserForm would be ideal (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm or
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Create_and_employ_a_UserForm.htm), but you could
also use FILLIN fields or form fields (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm) or MacroButton
fields (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm).
