Following up on Jay's remarks, what you are talking about is what Word calls
an "online form." For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,

I have tried to INSERT -- Field -- autotextlist and
also INSERT -- Autotext and I get my auto text list but
it is shaded out so no selection(s) can be made. Also,
when I turn the "field codes" off, this entry disappears -
- unlike the "textformat" command. So when I save the
template and open up as a document, the place where I have
the autotextlist inserted, when tabbed, it tabs right past
this place.

I am using Word 2000. Does anyone know what I am doing
wrong?
