After creating Word template drop down menus don't work, why?
I created a form in Word 2003 with drop down menus. I then used "Save As" to
create a template of the form. I launched the template and a new word doc launched, but the drop down menus didn't work. I must be doing something wrong. Any help would be appreciated. |

Is the template protected for forms?

You need to protect for forms. 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.
