Another possibility is to use a pop-up message box on opening/creating the
document from macros in the document template (not normal.dot!) eg

Sub AutoNew()
Dim sMsg As String
Dim sVer As Integer
sMsg = "This is the user instruction"
sVer = Application.Version
If sVer 12 Then
Assistant.On = True
Set Balloon = Assistant.NewBalloon
With Balloon
.Text = sMsg
.Button = msoButtonSetOK
.Animation = msoAnimationBeginSpeaking
.Show
End With
Else
MsgBox sMsg
End If
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
Dim sMsg As String
Dim sVer As Integer
sMsg = "This is the user instruction"
sVer = Application.Version
If sVer 12 Then
Assistant.On = True
Set Balloon = Assistant.NewBalloon
With Balloon
.Text = sMsg
.Button = msoButtonSetOK
.Animation = msoAnimationBeginSpeaking
.Show
End With
Else
MsgBox sMsg
End If
End Sub

My boss is trying to set up a document where an Instruction is
visible to all Users, but it isn't meant to show on 'hardcopy' and we
don't want to use 'hidden text'.

Any suggestions??
