Hi, Abraham. This sounds like a pretty big project, and you've provided
literally no information. You would probably be better off starting slow.
What's the first thing you want to do? Perhaps something like this will
help?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm and
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/WorkWithBookmarks.htm. Wizards are
essentially UserForms, often with flashy formatting.

As Charles has said, a "wizard" is basically a UserForm, and if you use a
UserForm, you don't need to use form fields. Instead, you can have users
enter text into the UserForm and it can then be written either to bookmarks
in the document or (better) to document properties which can be inserted in
the document using DocProperty fields.

I've just read this example. I am neither MVP nor apologist for MVPs but
that site takes it upon itself to be overtly critical of the mvps example
and makes a big deal about good programming practice and then talks (and
codes) complete tosh when it gets to the bit about error handling. Shame
really because, essentially, the example is OK otherwise.

I think the language is in the article is harsh. I suspect Malcolm's main
criticism is the use of the Show command rather than creating a new instance
of the form. While generally I haven't had problems with doing this, I've
converted to using Malcolm's methods for displaying and using userforms
rather than the .Show command. I've read enough to believe that it is better
programming.

Nevertheless, I point people to the MVP article because it is
straightforward and easy to use (as is Malcolm's).
