I'm not sure about that. The computer & programs I was using with the data
form is not the one I'm using now so I don't know if it was or not ever
working on this terminal. Is there another option for doing what I want with
this Word version?

Hi ?B?UGlh?=,
Microsoft Office Word 2003
Word does not provide a toolbar button named "data form" on the Forms toolbar. If
you're really seeing (or saw) a button of that name in the Forms toolbar, it was put
there by someone, or some program.
There is a "data form" button on the old Word 2000 mail merge toolbar, but it
doesn't do what you describe.
Is it possible that you once had Bill Coan's "Data Prompter" add-in installed? Or
some similar kind of tool? And now it's "gone missing"?
In the forms toolbar there's an option called data form. I have used this
icon before to bring up a box that allows you to load information for a
letter or proposal from this box, rather than having highlighted sections in
the document that you have to go through, change & delete. It's standard
things like Customer Name, Address. I think it has something to do with a
mail merge but I've no idea how to set it up. I've tried the text form field
but it's not as good as the data form.
Which version of Word do you have?
