Jay, Thanks for the help. I didn't even know where to look in Word 2007! I'll
look around and see if there are any tutorials, but in the meantime I have a
question. I'm able to ge the pop up appear, but I can't get it to stay when I
save the document so when the next user uses it they know what to enter.
Also, is there a way that if they complete a field that I can populate that
same answer in multiple places? If anyone needs me to send them a copy of
the document for reference, let me know.

I really hope I can explain what I'm trying to do here. I'm wanting to create
a template that I can use over and over again for work. I thought in one of
the older versions of word that there was a way that I could click on a
field/section and a field would pop up and and say what to enter and it would
automatically populate that field with that answer. I've got a marketing fact
sheet that has reoccuring bits of information and it would be so nice to have
those pieces auto populated based on certain answers.
Any helps on this?
Go to Insert Field (in Word 2007, Insert Quick Parts Field) and choose
"Fill-in" from the list of field names. In the Prompt box in the middle part of
the dialog, enter the description text that should appear in the popup.
