Default creating "pop up" message boxes in Word 2003 table Win 2K O/S

If you use a formfield in the cell (it will however require that the
documnet be protected for forms) you could use a macro that runs on entry to
the formfield to display a message box. Or you could use the "Add Help
text" facility of the formfield.

How can I create a message that appears when user tabs into a specific
cell
in a table? I need to post instructions for user to enter certain data
when
landing in the cell. I played with fields but could not get the message
box
to appear. Since I am dealing with a table, am I better off using Excel
and
the Data Validation tool?

thanks
