Creating forms in MS Word 2007

By Sheri T (8 posts -- read other by posts Sheri T)

In MS Word 2003 there was a Forms toolbar which allowed you to place fields on a document for input on a generic form. The fields could be customized to be restrictive as to the type of input. In 2007, where there aren’t any toolbars, these form fields are not by default on the ribbon.

First click on the Office button, then click on the Word Options button along the bottom of the menu. Check Show Developer Tab on Ribbon.

This allows you to find fields to add to your document. BUT the problem is that the ab| field does not allow you customize its properties.

The solution is to click on the Legacy Tools button (found in the bottom of the Controls group on the Designer tab). The Legacy Tools are the same buttons that you had available to you in the 2003 version of MS Word! The ab| field found here allows you to limit the type of data that is input into this field to text, number, date, time or a calculation.
