how do I convert a created form into a template?
You convert any document into a template by saving it as a template (.dot
file). I think what you mean is that you want to convert it to a protected form; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.

File Save As... Word Template
What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm especially Dian Chapman's series of articles. You may also want to look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFl...nesInForms.htm. Generally people use tables with fixed-size cells to hold fields and keep the form from changing.
