Can I display text on startup?
Hi Team,
I have a form I've created, and I'd like users to see a brief "Help" blurb on the document which explains how to use it. It must be a non-printing bit of text. Is a non-printing header the best way to do that? I find I can't customize a Comment well enough as far as positioning it where I want on the page. Sorry if this is very basic, I'm new to forms. Thanks in advance.... 8^} |

You can associate help with the form fields' properties that will be
displayed in the status bar or Save the form for use as a template and add macros either run on entry to the fields to explain what to do with them or as an autonew macro to run on creating a document from the template eg Sub AutoNew() MsgBox "Fill in all the fields!"
