I read Doug Robbins article
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

Decided to try creating the document which I called UserForm Practice.doc
(not a template).
I inserted the two bookmarks in the document, inserted a userform in the VBA
window with two textboxes and a command button and wrote the following code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
   With ActiveDocument
       .Bookmarks("Text1").Range.InsertBefore TextBox1
       .Bookmarks("Text2").Range.InsertBefore TextBox2
   End With

   UserForm1.Hide

End Sub

Private Sub UserForm_Click()

End Sub

I then returned to the document view and created an autoopen macro as
follows:

Option Explicit
Dim UserForm1 As Object

Sub autoopen()
'
' autoopen Macro
' Macro created 3/17/2005 by Bob
'
   UserForm1.Show
End Sub

When I open the document I get the following:

Run-time error '91':
   Object variable or with block variable not set

And the debug highlight points to:

   UserForm1.Show

in the autoopen macro.

Where did I go wrong?  Would it work differently in a template with an
autonew macro?

Thanks,
