I have a simple fill-in template and once the info has been filled in at the
top of the document, I want to cursor to move down to the first hard return
in the template. How do I make that happen??

In this case, I'd use ASK fields rather than Fillin fields. Put a macro named
AutoOpen in the document that

1. updates the fields

2. positions the cursor

Roughly:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveDocument.Fields.Update
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(2).Select
Selection.Collapse
End Sub
