Data entry form in word?
Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to create a data entry form like in excel in Word 2003? To renew my license I have to type my conferences in the format below. I want to create a tool for our staff that is easy to use for someone who is not real computer literate. I know there are many people who still don't know how to R click copy/paste but I believe they all have used Word at some time or another. I would like to have them enter the info in a form and then have it concatenate like excel or access does so they can easily copy and paste it right from their document. I would like the document to be a template so they can just open it up from our intranet website and save it to their own home drive. I am thinking that maybe Access would be my best tool but if word can do it, I think the staff would be better able to handle that. I'll post on the access and excel group too to see what option best works for me as I am kind of a novice in all 3 programs. List your CE courses using the following format: Course title, Date of Course, Number of Hours, Accrediting Body. If you list more than one course, separate courses with a semicolon. For example: Legal and Ethical Considerations for the Respiratory Therapist, 10/22/08, 2, AARC; After the Diagnosis, 09/30/08, 3.5, Ohio Nurses Association; Northwest District Seminar V, 09/09/09, 6, AARC; Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: A Disease with Increasing Hope (113), 06/29/09, 1, AARC 1.. Type the required information in a text based program. Any text program will do. We suggested WORD or WORDPAD, but any text based program works. The point is to be able to copy and paste once the formatted text is ready. Type the information in a single string of text, no hard returns or lines. Also, ABBREVIATE, ABBREVIATE, ABBREVIATE. The system only takes 1000 characters and we do not mind if you significantly abbreviate course titles. Cut (or Copy) and Paste the information in the entry box on the online system. Thanks, Linda |
