Default Inserting information in template

I would appreciate any detailed help anyone can supply.

Here is what I want to do:

I copied the HTML code from one of my web pages into Word and created a
template. I need to have places in the template where I can insert
information, such a the photo's name before the .jpg extension, the photo's
caption, etc. I would like to have someway of having a description at each
insertion place of what is required and, also, to have something pop up into
which one types what is to be inserted.

The way I have it now is that I just have a description in red color in the
HTML code in the template of what is needed at each insertion point, but I
have to delete all this stuff before (or after) I enter the information. It
seems that what I desire is so obvious a need that I know there must be a
way to do it.

Thanks,

gman

Hi ?B?Z21hbg==?=,

It's unclear whether you're saving this template as HTML, or in Word document
format. The former would limit what you can do...

From your description, I'd say you might be able to insert a MacroButton field
into the file. Assign it to look for a non-existant macro (I often use the
macro name NoMacro, but it doesn't matter, as long as the macro doesn't exist.)
Then enter some prompt text, such as "Click here to...". When you click, then
type something, the field should be replaced by what you type.

Hello, Cindy,

Thanks for your response. How can I save the template as HTML, i.e., can I
make a HTML template and save is as HTML, and not as a Word document? If so,
how?

Thanks,

gman

File/SaveAs and choose "HTML" or "Webpage" from the File type list.

I'm still not sure I'm answering your problem, though.
