Where do you want the instructions to appear? In the actual document or as
a message box on the screen. Also what type of form is this? A document
containing formfields that is protected, or a custom dialog (UserForm).

For the former, say you have a Checkbox to which has been assigned the
bookmark "Check1", if you set a macro containing the following code to be
run on exit from that checkbox (access the Properties dialog of that
formfield to do this), a message will be display when the user checks that
box and exits from it

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then
MsgBox "Here is a message."
End If
