I am trying to convert an existing Word doc into a template (which I've done)
and then override certain words by creating a field to be filled in by the
viewer. I have exhaused the help menu and am still unsure of how to do this.
Any ideas?

You can use an online form or macrobutton fields. 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
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm.

See http://www.addbalance.com/usersguide...tm#MacroButton and
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/TblsFl...acroButton.htm for more
about macrobutton fields.

Hope this helps,
