How to create Forms in Word ?
We have to create about 150 different forms for a project and put them
together in an 8.5x11 book. 1 - How can you create professional looking forms in Word? (So that each field is in a rectangle... and looks somewhat like the Medical Registratrion Form supplied with Word as a template.) 2 - Is Word the right tool to do this? Thanks for any comments and suggestions. |

OK - I found it.
For others click View | Toolbars | Forms So you basically use tables with the added functionality of the Forms Toolbar... it seems. And it seems to work OK. "Will" wrote in message om...

How to create Forms in Word ?
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. 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. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Use tables or frames to hold your fields and use borders for those to give you your rectangles. Hope this helps, -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
