creating 2003 compatible form in 2007
On the Developer tab, in the Controls group, the fourth button in the second
row is the Legacy Tools button. When you click that, almost the entire content of the old Forms toolbar is in the dropdown (as well as the contents of the Control Toolbox). The one thing that's missing there is the lock icon for protecting and unprotecting the form. You can add that to the Quick Access Toolbar by opening the Customize dialog and choosing the category Commands Not In the Ribbon. The command name in the list is "Lock". Alternatively, the Protect Document button on the Developer tab (also on the Review tab) has a choice called Restrict Formatting and Editing that opens the task pane like the one in Word 2003. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. wrote: i have microsoft 2007 and i'm trying to create a form that i can save as a 2003 format. i have no clue how to do this!! i know that i can enable the developer tab in word to create forms, however that can only be saved in 2007. i've read that 2003 had a forms toolbar but i can't figure out where it is in 2007. help please! |
