Is that possible?

No. There is no such event in Word. Moreover, if you insert text into the
middle of a document, text will be pushed down onto subsequent pages,
creating a new page somewhere completely different from where you are
typing.

What are you trying to achieve?

Thanks for reply.

I'm preparing a report template. My target is to have a vertical text box in
every single page for comments, headlines etc. (like two columns document).
I’ve tried followings:

1- Inserting a text box by using heading/footers: does not help because
the content of text boxes will be different in each page.
2-Create two columns: doesn't help because columns should be independent
each other.
3-Insert table with two column: risky, because user may wirte outside of
the table.

So finally I thought to write a code. When user press return at the end of
the document the new page will be created, and this will trigger a macro to
insert a text box at the left of the page?

It would be much more easier if Word has a feature similar to "Master Slide"
or "Slide Template" like PowerPoint.

Thanks,
Faruk

Well, it seems that the third option is the best available, and if you want
this feature, then you have to train your users how to use the feature.

As I said, can't be done, as there is no event that would serve. Also,
realise that Word (unlike Powerpoint and various page design programs)
doesn't really think in terms of pages. Instead, it thinks of the text as
being on a continuous scroll, and where the page breaks come is decided on
the basis of continuously-updated calculations.

Slide"
or "Slide Template" like PowerPoint.

Well, of course ou could write your report template in PowerPoint, but I
suspect that it would end up lacking rather more features that you need.
