I'm sorry, too. That is the only solution I know of if you want to use
hyperlinks and protected forms.
You can put sample text in the form fields or even longer explanations. You
can also put help text in the status line or available to the F1 key.
Finally, you can format your instructions as hidden so they won't print. If
your users have the view option turned on so they can see hidden text, you
can give your instructions that way.
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more
about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles. The latter articles get into userforms and
other methods. They are far more flexible than online forms but also require
vba knowledge.
Hope this helps,
