Default Mandatory fields to be filled out by staff (not mail-merge)

All,

We need to use a form in which people have to fill out certain information.
Both with a drop-down menu or not and fill-out.

Help-menu in Word2000 is not helpful.

Using 'ASK' or "Fill-in" I can bring up the menu once, but how do I make it
that whenever one opens the document (template or not) that these questions
appear from the start?

Cannot find the answer anywhere.

Regards,

Remco Sijmons )
