I'm trying to create a form for my client in Word 2007. Users will access the
form through a template on SharePoint. Some of them use 2007 and some 2003. I
have several questions regarding this form.

1. Can I successfully use a combination of legacy controls AND 2007
controls? Right now (good or bad) I'm using a combination. Of course, I'm
having problems, hence the post.

2. When I save the document, how should it be saved so that both sets of
users can access it AND save it? Also, when they save it to submit the form,
how should it be saved so it CAN be modified if necessary? Right now if we
save it as a .doc or .docx, the 2007 fields become static.

3. A question about formatting. (I hope I can explain it). I have set up a
bullet list with 2007 controls. The text that shows in the document is greyed
out slightly, which is fine. What I can't seem to control is what the text
looks like when it's typed in the form. Sometimes its bold and black,
sometimes its bold and grey, and sometimes it is how I want it which is black
and "normal". How do I control the text as it will appear in the filled out
form?

4. I have several fields that are text only, and I chose the legacy text
controls rather than the 2007 controls. When I pull up the form to fill it
in, the grey boxes remain around the text. How do I get rid of them?

Thanks in advance for whatever help can be offered.
