There is no way to do this without using macros or protected forms.

Note, a protected form does not need to look like a form. It is just a
document in which there are only certain places that a user can type. This
is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about
online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

Could be, but most of the time ordinary text - not in a header or footer.

Hi,
When a user opens the document, the cursor should be where I want the
user
to start typing text - not at the top of the document.

Depends on what that "specific place" is.

Hi,
Is it possible to, when open a document, jump to a specific place
directly -
without using macro?
