I would like to know how to add either a fill-in and/or ask prompt for a
document. Each time the client opens the file, I want them to be prompted to
enter in specific information that will be inserted in the document.

I would prefer not to use a mailmerge feature, as a data source is not
needed, and the client wants to only enter data, but not necessary save what
was entered in a different file.

When I create the document, I want to send this to my client, and then they
can use the file on their system. So, all prompts or fields should transfer
over.

This may be a programming / VBA request.

There is already something like this set up if you care to use it, and it
makes data entry really easy:

Word file completely.)
OR you could use the Userform prompts:

OR you could use a fill-in form (tabs):

There are benefits to each. The last (fill-in) doesn't require code at all.
