Default Text Fields in Header/Footer that prompts for user input

Ruben,

Macros are added to templates and documents via the Visual Basic (VBA)
editor in Word (you can quickly access the editor via the shortcut Alt+F11).
In VBA, each template or document has a ThisDocument module and you can add
other modules yourself. A module can contain several macros.

For an introduction to macros and VBA, see these articles:

Please post back if you need further help.

Thank you for the help, this sounds like it will be exactly what I need. My
only question is where do I enter this code? You say "can e.g. be added to
the
ThisDocument module" but I am not familiar with what that is. Is there an
easier way to do this or can you tell me where to find the ThisDocument
module?

Thanks again.
