I'm not sure why you would need a macro to access the letter. It should be a
template that would appear in the File New dialog.

Thank you so much. I have created a simple letter that needs user input
and
it works. Now I will program a macro to access the letter and I will be
set.
Although I had formal training for WP and WANG, I am self-taught in MS.
I
didn't bother to read about online forms because I thought they were only
to
be used online. I usually figure things out easily, but this one thing
has
had me perplexed for 2 years.

This sounds like an on-line form - insert form fields where you want the
variable text and lock the form.
Alternatively you could use macrobutton fields - see

Back in 1994, I used WP5.1 extensively. I used macros everyday.
Three of the macros that I programmed were letters that required user
input in various sections. One macro took about 2 minutes to program
and saved so much time when I ran it. In 3 days, I had printed out
the same amount of letters and addressed envelopes, that took another
person (who didn't understand macros) 3 three weeks to do the same
amount. I am trying to accomplish that same macro in MS WORD.

Word uses macros in an entirely different way to WP. What exactly
are you trying to achieve?

When I would program macros in WP 5.1, I used the command CTRL PgUp
RETURN RETURN so that the macro would stop at the place where I
wanted to insert text and the macro would then continue to the end.
Can anyone tell me what the command is in MS Word to accomplish the
same macro? Pausing the macro does not work.
