If I understand correctly from Doug, it appears that the document should be
created as a template. He mentions then making a form. Is he saying that
the form is "attached" to the template and will then fill in the appropriate
information? I am very confused. The books don't really help either.

Can anyone make this more simple for me to understand?

Thank you.

I have a document that I created in WordPerfect that I need to now create in
Word 2003. I do not know if it would be easier to create it as a template or
as a fill-in "form".

It is a long legal document. It will need a Table of Contents and will have
several exhibits added. In WordPerfect I created this as a Template which
allowed me to place codes within the document where specific information
would be entered. Then a list of that specific information was created for
the user to complete. Then the program took the information the user filled
in and inserted it into the document. This information consisted of items
such as the name of a company, several different fee amounts, numbers of days
in which certain things would take place, etc.

Can someone please help me determine the best type of document to create in
Word 2003 that will achieve the same end as I had with the WordPerfect
document. I need this to be as similar as possible, as the other user(s)
will also be changing from their familiar WordPerfect document.

Any help and/or suggestions you can provide would be most appreciated.

Thank you.
