form text box
In Word 93 there used to be an Insert text for forms as well as an Insert check box. I am now using Word 97 with Vista and I can't find these commands. When I click the insert field area it doesn't seem to have just test as an offering. Where can I find these commands?

I suspect Rick is referring to Word 2003 and Word 2007, since there is no

Agreed. And in Word 2007, after going to Office button Word Options and
enabling display of the Developer tab of the ribbon, you'll find the form fields in the dropdown from the Legacy Tools button in the Controls group. (That should be the fourth button in the second row.) -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
