Word: Box with warning possible
Hi,
I have a word document where I wish the viewer to be aware of a couple of things before they fill out the form in the document. Is it possible to insert a sort of box with this warning? I do not want it to print. And preferably it would disappear after 10 seconds or so.
This cannot happen without using macros.
If you are going to use macros, you might as well use a custom dialog box called a UserForm.

The user has the choice of whether or not macros will run and many places do not allow them.
If you decide to go with a UserForm and have one prepared with the warning you want, write back, in a separate question, for help on having it disappear after a given time.
