distribute a form
This is such an embarrassing question, I was tempted to create a fake account
to post it because I don't want anyone to know I don't know this. I need to create a form that our staff can fill out and send to my manager. I've created and tested the form and it's working fine. But how do I distribute it? Is it just a matter of finding the ".dot" file and emailing that and then telling people where to save it? I'm so confused. Thanks! |

Yes, the form should be created as a template and installed in the
proper templates folder. For more on forms, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...nTheBlanks.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jam-acp" wrote in message ...

distribute a form
If all of the users are on the same network, the principles described in
this article should apply: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/...buteMacros.htm. In other words, you could use a log-in script to add the template to the user templates folder for each user. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

Update to original question. Now my manager wants me to make this form
available on our website as a downloadable file that people can fill out and email back. Would I still upload the ".dot" file?

This depends on how the form should be used. If everyone who downloads it is
supposed to use it only once, the *.doc file should work (assuming that the form does not make use of macros in the *.dot). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jam-acp" wrote: Update to original question.
