The same formfields are available under the Legacy Tools item of the
Controls section of the Developer tab of the Ribbon.
You may however want to investigate the use of Content Controls that are
introduced with Word 2007, though not if the documents need to be used with
earlier versions as well.

Was pretty easy....had to revert to Word 2003....don't know how yet in
Word 2007 ( they "fixed" it and made it more better)

Thanks Jay....just finished an experiment with "bookmarks" but seems
clumsy. Will try the template approach, this will take a long time as the
contract document is 23 pages long. (Darn lawyer crap)

I have a standard contract in MS Word and the entries I make are
scattered all over the document. Can I automate it to "TAB" (or
other means) to jump to the blank areas that needed filling in. ? TIA
What you're describing is a "protected form". See
