Hi all. I want to create a macro that will look for words
in the word document that are in [brackets]. Then I want
a prompt to come up that asks for data to be entered to
replace the [brackets]. So for example see the following
sentence . . .

On behalf of Joe's Company, I am pleased to confirm your
acceptance of our offer of employment as an [insert
title].

I want a prompt to come up as ask "insert title". When
the user enters the title "Accountant", for example, the
sentence in the document would read

On behalf of Joe's Company, I am pleased to confirm your
acceptance of our offer of employment as an Accountant.
