Ask for name on open & update field

[Pete]

How do I create a prompt box on document opening for a Word user to enter
their name and for this entry to be displayed in... a form field (for
example). Thanks in advance for any help!

Create an autoopen macro in the document or its template (not the normal
template)

Sub Autoopen
Dim sName as String
sName = InputBox("Enter your name")
ActiveDocument.formfields("Text1").Result = sName
End If

will put the result in form field Text1

Thanks Graham, I got it to work. I had to use Legacy form field and I also
had to remove "End If"

All the best
