How do I make a word document fillable with fields for users?
I have a one page questionnaire I want to put fields in. Users will have a
variety of computer skills so I want it to be just click and fill in. I thought Insert/Fields would work but it hasn't. Do I have to start with a template or something else? |

You are on the right track. You will want to open the "FORMS" toolbar and
insert your fill-in fields form thsi toolbar. One special note, the fill-in fields do not accept data until you "lock" the form, use the lock at right end of the toolbar before saving the document. Hope this helps. "cthrail" wrote: I have a one page questionnaire I want to put fields in. Users will have a variety of computer skills so I want it to be just click and fill in.
