What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at

Hi,

Forgive me if I am posting to the wrong newsgroup.

I need to have a method (Template maybe?) that I can insert fields into. I
would email this document to others and ask them to fill in the required
fields. I hope they could just create a document from the template and
when
it opens, it will show gray boxes that allows them to enter the data
(name,
address, etc). I know I have seen this somewhere before but I can't seem
to
get it going.

Any suggestions? Any help will be appreciated.

TIA,

Tom
