Frustrated - Forms were easy in Word 2003 not so much in 2007
Our office switched everyone to 2007 without any warning and no training.
All the things I did with ease I now am pulling my hair out trying to find a way to convert or redo them. I am normally a patient person but this has pushed me to the edge. I even downloaded the trial at home so I could play around with it. I am having most of my problem with letters I had set up using the forms tool bar to insert text form fields. Protecting is another story. Is anyone else having these issues? Does anyone have any suggestions, in plain English please. Word 2007 for dummies would be my speed. Why did it have to change anyway? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Hi jlankar,
You can still create the same kinds of forms as before. First, make sure the 'Developer' tab is enabled (Word Options|Popular). Then, from the 'Controls' panel, select 'Legacy Tools' - all the familiar formfields are there. -- Cheers macropod [Microsoft MVP - Word] "jlankar" wrote in message ...

You should find http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm
useful as it adds the familiar forms tools to the developer tab. If your company imposed Word 2007 on its workforce without any training then it deserves the loss of productivity that will be the inevitable result. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org macropod wrote: Hi jlankar, You can still create the same kinds of forms as before.
