i was wondering if (using macros) i can get a popup window on the screen
which opens as soon as a word doco is opened, which allows me to fill in data
in to a field which will be inserted into the document.
i had seen this been done on an apa format template ages ago and i couldnt
seem to find the template anymore...
for eg:

Doco opens..
Popup window: please insert Client name- "jon doe"

Now let Name$="Jon Doe"
so in the doco where there is Name$ there"jon doe" will pop up...

Dear Name$,
blah blah blah blah blah................ and thats what
Name$ thniks of himself.
