Default Best method of providing context-sensitive help in Word template?


I have a Word file (*.dotm) that is used as a template for company reports. I would like to provide context-sensitive help throughout the 120-page document. I'm well versed in VBA, but I didn't know what would be the most efficient means. I thought at one time Word had a means of using an F1 key combination for custom help. I would certainly welcome any suggestions. Thanks!

You could insert hyperlinks that effectively point to themselves (i.e. bookmark the content the instructions apply to, then select that content and insert a hyperlink from there to the bookmark) and use the hyperlink screen tip to provide the instructions.

I normally use comments to give any context sensitive help
