Your form should be saved as a template and then you would use FileNew to
create a new document from the template each time you need to start a new
form.
Instead of ASK fields you may want to consider using FormFields, or whether
a userform is not a better way for you.

I have a form.dot with a number of ASK then REF fields. The REF fields use
dates and data obtained via the ASK fields. A new copy of the form is
opened (form.doc) then once the form is completed it is printed and then
used again. Right now we have to actually close the form (the form and
data is not saved or reused) then open a new copy of the form to enter new
data. Sometimes we do this 20+ times for different customers, one after
another. Is there some way I can have a macro in the form which simply
resets the ASK/REF fields to blank then "re-opens" a new copy of the form.
Or do I have to actually close the copy I have open and get a new copy of
the form each time ? I am using Word XP.
thanks .. Wilson R.
