Default Form fields

Hello Graham

Sorry to be such a pain. What I meant to say, is that I have followed all
it said in the article from Greg, pasted the text into the UI editor and
nothing has happened, there is still not anything to lock a form on the
toolbar, even after restarting Word and the computer. When I tried to
delete the template and start again, it would not let me remove it in Word
as it said the file was being used, so its obviously there. I deleted in in
Windows explorer and started again, but nothing appears on the ribbon. Any
ideas.

I think you may be confusing the contents of two posts. I don't recall
giving you any code to enter into the UI editor? The UI Editor is a means
whereby you can edit the ribbon.

As for the forms tools, you can copy and paste the ribbon code from Greg
Maxey's web site - http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm
which adds the ribbon modifications in the developer tab.

If you have done this, then you need to restart Word to load the add-in
template. You will see the extra commands on the Developer Tab.

Graham
Can I ask for your help again please. I have downloaded the editor,
created a template, saved it in the start up, opened it in the editor and
pasted in the text on the link you gave me and I cannot see that anything
has changed on the button bar. nothing has changed in the form section,
still no lock template. Any ideas what I have done wrong.

useful when working with protected forms in Word 2007.

I am not a new Word user but a new user to Word 2007. I have created
forms in Word 2003, put in the fields and locked them. I cannot find
how to now create new forms and lock and unlock the ones I have. The
computer is about to go through the window !!!! Can anyone help please.
Also there does not seem to be a help button anywhere to find out these
things. Would be very grateful for some help please.
