Possible to create /edit wizard files?

[DarrylFinian]

In WordPerfect it was easy to create templates with an
embedded macro that when set to, would start up and we
could customize fields to enter into the template which
would make it easy for the user to fill in info only once
(i.e., when 2 or more spots needed to be filled with same
data, user only needed to enter it once. Formatting all
preset on each specific spot on template, so double
advantage.).

I was looking at what is available in Word and wizard
files seem to be what we can use to mimic this. But how
does one go about learning how to create/edit wizard
files? Is it even possible?

If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd
really appreciate it. Tx.

Oh, I might not be in the right ng. If there is a better
one to answer this question, pls let me know.

Hi DarrylFinian,

In Word, this would be VBA (macros) and UserForms. You'll
find a tutorial on that at word.mvps.org

An alternative would be the DataPrompter utility that Bill
Coan created that does all the work for you.
