Default Can I create pop-up message in a Word form?

Hello,
I've created a form with fields that are calculated. I'd like to instruct
the user to use the Tab key to allow these totals to update based on their
input. Is it possible to have a pop-up appear whenever they open up the form
to use it?
Thanks.

Save an autonew macro in the form template eg
Sub AutoOpen ()
MsgBox "Use the TAB key to move between fields!"
End Sub

Then whenever a new form is created from the template, the message will
appear.

That's great, it works. One last question: How can put line breaks in the
message box? I have several points I want the user to make note of.

MsgBox "This is the first line" & vbCr & _
"This is the second line" & vbCr & _
"This is the third line" & vbCr & _
"etc"
