self-starting fill-in fields

[aleeherself]

Hi!

I have a protected form that is malfunctioning. When the user copies text
from a Word document, one block of the lines right justify, then it goes back
to left justify. I have opened and checked the original document and that
cell of the table is set to left justify. AND the cell in the table that I
copied from was also coded to left justify. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

OOPS!!

I put the wrong title on this inquiry. This thread should be about: How do
I get my form to automatically have the fill-in fields windows pop up when
the document is opened. Right now, I have to print the form before they will
pop up. I also tried saving it as a .dot and that didn't work either. It is
also not feasible to install them in the document template section because it
will be accessed from our intranet.

Thanks, and sorry for the confusion.

Create an AutoOpen macro containing the code

ActiveDocument.Range.Fields.Update

However, I would recreate the document with a userform in it as being
blasted with a series of Fillin boxes would drive me insane.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:

Doug, thank you so very much. I did wat the instructions said but the user
form did not pop up. It is in the template, but I did not want to store the
template in the "new>templates on your computer" section. Is that why it is
not working? This form will be used by multiple users and posted on our
intranet and have to be self sufficient. Here is what I did:
User Form:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
With ActiveDocument
.Bookmarks("FirstName").Range _
.InsertBefore FirstName
.Bookmarks("LastName").Range _
.InsertBefore LastName
.Bookmarks("Accomplishment").Range _
.InsertBefore Accomplishment
End With

UserForm1.Hide

End Sub

Then, as instructed on the template:
Sub autonew()
'
' autonew Macro
' Macro created 04/21/2009 by alee
'
UserForm1.Show
End Sub

Thanks!

You need to use File>New and then select the template for the AutoNew macro
to run.
