Hi I want one of my word document to show the input box when i open the word document.

Once I have entered this text, it should be entered at certain place in word document.

So for example



Dear "Entry from Input Box"

Any suggestions.

It is important to distinguish between "opening" and "creating" a document based on a template. These are distinct actions and the latter is preferred.

Take a look at the Ask Field Tutorial. It has sample documents showing how ASK and FILL-IN fields work in documents and templates together with vba code to assist in implementing these. It shows the distinction between opening a document and creating a new document, as well. This was written about 10 years ago and works with Word 2007 and Word 2010 as well as earlier versions.

Otherwise, you could use a UserForm. If you are asking for a lot of information on opening, this might be a better option than fields. When you have multiple questions pop up, it gets annoying.
