99702 2002-11-19 19:51:00 In Word XP have set up templates with fields that generate pop up boxs to fill in info like name and address. But once these have been completed how do you get just a simple dialog box like "Start typing your memo now" or "Press Ctrl PC to update page count" to come up.
Thanks
Greg

99703 2002-11-20 00:20:00 Hi Greg, you could use VBA to run a message box when the word doc opens.

In Tools-Macro-Visual Basic Editor and enter the following in a module. You can change the text in quotes to anything you like.

Sub AutoOpen()
MsgBox "Start typing!"
End Sub
