Hi all,

I have a doc with a userform and wish populate it with previously used contents, that is, data retrieved when doc is opened.
The main problem is that I want to store that data in such a manner that it does not appear to users in the document itself.
My first idea was to use comments, but even if I hide the balloons one can still see itīs marks (ex. [MK1]).
I would like to avoid another idea, storing data in "last page" (or somewhere else) when the doc is saved and deleting it when the doc is opened.

Iīm using MS Word 2003.

Thanks in advance for any help.
MK

Use document variables. Either the built-in ones (the users can find these if they know where to look.) or user-defined variables. The help file has several examples.
