Hey, Gerry.

If you see my instructions for "easy guided forms" at http://www.theofficeexperts.com/word.htm, you'll see that the Macrobutton is used--not for a macro--but to guide the user to fill in a couple of areas of the document WITHOUT being nearly as restrictive as form fields, which restrict formatting and all that other stuff. When the macrobuttons are shaded, the user sees them more easily...like a prompt to fill out a certain area (when all shading is gone, all areas have been completed because click and type wipes the macrobutton field out entirely).
