template or not?
Not being a microsoft person, I'm not sure how to phrase this question.
What do you call it when you open up a word document that allows you to fill in fields in a form? Is this a template? If so, how do you create one from an existing document? I have a lot of manual forms that I fill out at work and would rather type all the information into a word document and print it out. How do I do this? I think you can tab through the editable areas too, which I like... |

It is not a template. A template is a starter document saved as a template
using File Save As, often with other resources. It can be a starter document for what you want, though. If you are using Word, you need to learn about templates. http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm 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.
