I have various documents containing tables in which data has to be entered.
I would like the cursor to be sitting in the first cell of the table ready
for input when the document is first opened, instead of at the default
position in the top left corner of the doc.
Can do? How?
Thank you!

Use formfields where you want the user to enter the data and protect the
document for forms.

If Doug's suggestion is for some reason not practical, create a bookmark
where you want editing to begin, and add an AutoNew and/or AutoOpen macro in
the relevant document templates to go to that bookmark.
