Default creating fillable forms in word 2007

I need to create a fillable form in MS WORD 2007, I have been ble to create
them, however, there are too many steps involved to make them fillable for
someone who might want to fill them as well as edit... due to the macros and
permissions setups that you need. Does anyone have any suggestions how to
create a fillable form that can be edited at any time as well as fillable
without all of the work arounds?

Use the new Content Controls rather than the legacy FormFields.
