Forms Toolbar in Word 2007
I have a question. I am still using Word 2002, however my office Manager has
a new computer with both Vista and Office 2007. I have been able to figure out how to do most things, however I do have a dilema with respect to finding the FORMS TOOLBAR in Word 2007. In my current version I merely go to: viewtoolbarsforms, and up pops the little toolbar which allows me to create a form with checkboxes, dropdown menus, and grey fields for inputing text. For the life of me I CANNOT find this toolbar in Word 2007. Does anyone know how I access this toolbar? Thanks in advance! Dan |

Dan First go to Office button Word Options Popular and check the box for "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon". Click OK. On the Developer tab, in the Controls group, the fourth button in the bottom row is Legacy Tools. You'll find the items from the Forms toolbar in there, along with what used to be on the Control Toolbox toolbar. The Protect Document button, which is further to the right on the Developer tab and also on the Review tab, opens the Protect Document task pane. If you want the lock icon that simply toggles forms protection on and off, you can add that to the Quick Access Toolbar through the Customize dialog (right-click the Quick Access Toolbar and choose Customize). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Forms Toolbar in Word 2007
Thank you Jay!
I printed out your response and will try it when I get to work on Monday. So the "Protect Document" (padlock symbol for locking and unlocking the form) is not part of the Forms Toolbar as it was in older versions of Word? I'm so used to my current version of Word. I dread learning how to find things all over again. Have a nice rest of your weekend! Dan "Jay Freedman" wrote: On Sat, 23 Feb 2008 15:33:01 -0800, Dan the Man wrote: I have a question.
