Can I display text on startup?

[Smohrman]

Hi Team,

I have a form I've created, and I'd like users to see a brief "Help" blurb
on the document which explains how to use it. It must be a non-printing bit
of text. Is a non-printing header the best way to do that? I find I can't
customize a Comment well enough as far as positioning it where I want on the
page.

Sorry if this is very basic, I'm new to forms.
Thanks in advance.... 8^}

You can associate help with the form fields' properties that will be
displayed in the status bar
or
Save the form for use as a template and add macros either run on entry to
the fields to explain what to do with them or as an autonew macro to run on
creating a document from the template eg

Sub AutoNew()
MsgBox "Fill in all the fields!"
End Sub
