One way is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more
about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.
"Master Document" is a name for a Word feature that should be avoided.
You may mean "template." For more on the different kinds of templates and
locations of templates folders see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm.
Hope this helps,
