Good Day,

I have just installed Word 2007 and could not find the Form tool. I did
however see Infopath.

Can forms still be created in Word 2007 as they could be in Word 2003?

Thanks

Chomp

Yes, in Word 2007, Click on the File button, then on the Word Options button
on
the bottom border of the dialog and then select Developer from the Choose
commands from pull down, then locate the Legacy Tools item and click on the
Add button to add it to the Quick Access Toolbar. When you do that, you
will be able to insert the FormFields that you used in Word 2003 and earlier
versions. To protect the document for forms, go to the Review tab and the
click on the Protect Document button to display the Protect Document Task
Pane which is similar to that in Word 2003.

Wow. Big mistake to effectively remove this functionality.

Learn to use the new controls from the Controls toolbox in the Developer
category.

Thanks Doug and Bobby.
I only installed the beta version yesterday and forgot about some of the
things I was planning to get done this weekend.

Thanks again, this helped a lot.
