A UserForm is your best bet. If you develop some aptitude for VBA, you can
make a UserForm do anything you want (dance a jig and sing). To get started
with a very simple UserForm, see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm. If you aren't up to
even this much VBA and are willing to spend a modest amount on an add-in to
create custom UserForms for you, see

We are trying to switch from Wordperfect to Word for letters/faxes in my
office. We currently have one box for all fillin fields to be entered at
the
same time - can this be done in Word? also, can Word place one fillin
into
to locations in the new document?
