I want to create a macro that pauses at a certain spot and allows me to enter
in a unique number and then continue the macro.

It appears as if I am not the only one that is trying to do this as
evidenced by the questions in the discussion group, but I am not
understanding why this is so difficult.  I believe the the old versions of
Word did this (or was it WordPerfect)?  Anyway, I can think of a million
times that this would have been the best way to generate a form.  For
instance, run the macro (pause and enter info), continue to run macro (pause
and enter other infor) continue to run macro, etc.  

Maybe a macro is not the place to do that, but I personally don't like the
form fields in Word and would prefer to automatically generate the document
from a macro.  For example, I have a template letter to a client, I would
like to fire a macro and have it generate the letterhead information, pause
and ask me to input a name (which is in turn tied to another macro?),
continue with the letter and pause and ask for a certain date for example to
be inputted, continue with the rest of the letter and then pause for
insertion of the person who is signing the letter and then complete the rest
of the information for the letter.  

Any ideas?

Thanks.
