Mandatory fields to be filled out by staff (not mail-merge)
All,
We need to use a form in which people have to fill out certain information. Both with a drop-down menu or not and fill-out. Help-menu in Word2000 is not helpful. Using 'ASK' or "Fill-in" I can bring up the menu once, but how do I make it that whenever one opens the document (template or not) that these questions appear from the start? Cannot find the answer anywhere. Regards, Remco Sijmons ) |
