I want to display a message box with instructions when a new file is opened
based on a template. I also want to have a check box for 'Do not display this
message again'.

Is this possible in Word?

This could be done with a userform. To get started, see the article "How to
create a Userform" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

To implement the checkbox requirement, you will need to use the
System.PrivateProfileString command to store the status in a file and use
that command in the autonew macro in the template to determine the stored
value and hence whether or not to display the form.

Hope this helps.

Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my
