Default I want record macro to throw dialogue box up for inserting text

I have a standard template for typing faxes. I recorded a macro years ago
and can't remember how I did it.
When I open the template, it used to throw a number of dialogue boxes up. I
entered the information and it inserted it at the specific places.
for instance, the first one asked me for the name who the fax was to and I
typed it in. The second box asked me for the fax number, etc etc.
Any ideas?

There is no way you can record a macro to create userforms to gather data.
You will have to code it by hand - see Word MVP FAQ - Userforms
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms.htm

You could use simpler macrobutton fields
http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm in your template or you could use the
method shown on that page to insert address data from Outlook.
