Creating a Form
I asked this yesterday, and someone asnswered, but when I opened the page it
was blank. If you answered, thank you. I need to create a SIMPLE form for a 4 question survey. Someone filling out the survey will only have 2 or 3 choices for answers. I would like the answers to be displayed in a Drop-Down field. When I try using the Forms toolbar, and click on "drop-down," I get a gray box, when I start typing, my characters are outside of (to the right of) the gray box. What am I doing wrong? |

Creating a Form
You need to populate the dropdown form field. In design mode, double-click
on the form field to open the Form Field Options dialog and enter your choices. After doing this and exiting the Options dialog, you'll need to protect your form for it to work correctly. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. But if you don't want to create a protected form, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/AutoTextList.htm -- Suzanne S.
