Clearing Fields In A Form
In the past (pre-2003), you could clear entries in a form by unlocking and
re-locking the form. This was annoying when first creating a form, but very useful when re-using forms. (i.e. click, click and you had a "clean" form) However, this method nolonger works. Is there another way to accomplish this? |

It still works if you use Unprotect/Protect from the menu rather than the

If you save your form as a template with clear fields and then create a new
document based on your template when you use it, you will have a fresh form available each time. What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles.
