It depends on your definition of relatively simple...

The macro could be as little as:

Sub PhoneNumberMacro()
Dim myForm As frmPhoneNumber
Set myForm = New frmPhoneNumber
myForm.Show
Unload myForm
Set myForm = Nothing
End Sub

Of course, that assumes you have the userform "frmPhoneNumber."

Its all a question of how much work you are willing to go through to help
people type a phone number in a fax form. (You could have the userform
gather all the information for the Fax Cover sheet header just about as
easily. OTOH, you could use macrobutton fields in a table as prompts the way
the built-in fax forms do, or both.)

It is not an online form, i figured i would have to write
a macro for that. where could i go to get the basics on
writing a macro of this sort, i assume it would be a
relatively simple macro.

I suspect you'll need an on-entry macro that will pull up
a userform for
this purpose. I'm assuming you are talking about a
protected online form. If
not, perhaps a macrobutton field that would pull up such
a userform.
