document covers

[Elizabeth]

I need to create covers for documents in MSWord and I would like to use Merge
to do this. I have made a template that has blank spaces to insert date,
names, venue and other details which have to be typed individually on each
cover. I cannot take these details from a database as every cover will have
once-off details to be inserted. I want to be able to press a key that will
move to the next field as I insert each detail. Can anyone help me as to
how to do this please?

You can do this with a protected form (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to) or using
MacroButton fields (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm). The latter
option is more suitable if you need to be able to edit the remainder of the
document; you can advance from one field to the next using F11.

I am so sorry, I did not see this response and could not find it when I
searched so I posted this question again today. Please ignore my repeated
question.
