Forms in Word
How can I create a form in a Word document that will enable me to protect
the document while allowing people to input information into a specific place (i.e. filling in their name)? And while you're at it, can you tell me where to go to input the list of information that will be used in the "drop-down form field" box in Word. |

especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.
