userforms/templates/bookmarks/merge problems

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am currently tasked with creating a report template with a form to fill out
which then populates the document with the necessary information. I have
tried multiple suggestions I found on the internet and the MVP site, but
nothing seems to work. Should I make a form in Excel and then somehow link
it to a template and if so, how? In the form, there will be over a dozen
entries, with some needing to be selected from drop-down lists, populating a
60-page document (some entries will be one word, some paragraphs, and some
in-between). Presently I am trying to develop a template from an existing
document, bookmarking locations for information, then creating a userform
(problem area) to populate the document. I have never used Visual Basic
before and think that may be my hang-up.

I have a form for input of data; I need to populate the document with that
data. Don't know if I should use merge, ask, ref, bookmarks, or what, or if
form needs to be part of template. If so, or if not, I don't know if I need
a macro to run it when template is opened, or to add info to document.

I am using Word 2000 SP-3.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.
