What code do you have in the macro, and is it in the form template?

If you were using formfields to get the information from the user, you would
not need a macro for this purpose.

I have an electronic form which has been created in Word 2003. It is an
application for employment.

The area where the applicant needs to start completing information is on
page 3.

I would like to create a macro in the form which would run immediately on
opening a new document based on that form template which would take the
insertion point to the first field on page 3 where information needs to be
entered.

I created a form, but it doesn't seem to work when I open a document based
on the template. What am I doing wrong?
