Usually in Word 2003 I could make fields in documents, to be completed later) with Ctrl-F9 and then save the document. Later to complete the blanks I would use F11.
For the kind of work I do, this was perfect. I got a new job, they have Word 7 and I am lost. This doesn't seem to work. I need a fast way to add go to points, for later completion.

You can accomplish this exactly the same way in Word 2007 (note that Word 7.0 is Word for Windows 95). See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/UsingMacroButton.htm.

Suzanne,
Thanks for the help. I used to use the MVP site a lot, but haven't lately and when I went there recently, there didn't seem to be any stuff about this new version of Word (with the ribbon, etc.) So how is this version of Word (which is part of Office 7) designated? I am at a little disadvantage right now because I am on holiday away from work and that version.
Thanks again for your help.
Diane

The version of Office is Office 2007 or Office 12.0 (not Office 7). I am in the process of updating my articles for Word 2007, but many others remain un-updated. But you can insert a MacroButton field using Ctrl+F9 just as before. If you want to do it through the UI, you'd use Insert | Text | Quick Parts | Fields...
