Inserting Word Fields

Hi,

I wonder if you can help me.  I work in a Human Resources Department.  We
have many standard 'master' contracts, with standard fields such as 'Date',
'Name' 'Division' and 'Job Title'.  

I would ideally like a data form, as in excel, but as far as i know, word
does not do this.  Therefore i inserted word fields.  The word fields prompt
boxes are displayed once i right click the field, and select 'Update Field'.  
If i select all of the document (Ctrl + A), and then right click, and select
'Update Field'.  Then one by one, the prompt box appears for each field i
have previously entered into the document.

It would be extremely helpful if i could have the document, upon opening, to
display all of these prompt boxes, without having to select all of the
document and selecting 'Update Fields'

I am undertaking Advanced Word ECDL and i am yet to find any solutions.

Please help me, as this would definately improve my organisations error
ratio, turnaround time and eventual smooth running.

Thank you.

Paul

P.s, I use Word XP.

Doug's user form is the more elegant solution, but you could use the update
example code at http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm saved in the
template as an autonew macro which will update the fields automatically on
creating a new document.
