I am using Microsoft XP Edition. I am trying to make a form template that
can be used over and over. However, my problem is when I add data to the
form and then send via email to a recipient and they open it, it reveals
previous data that should not be seen. (These forms I use contain
confidential data that should be deleted when the new data is inserted).

Create your form as a template. Create a new document based on the template
to send to people as an email attachment.

I do save my docs to a new name but it still reveals previous data when
recipients open their email attachment.

I meant what I said. Create your form document from a form template. Send
that out. There are a lot of good reasons for creating new documents from
templates rather than other documents. You've stumbled into one of them.

For more on the different kinds of templates, tabs on the file new dialog,
and locations of templates folders see
http://addbalance.com/usersguide/templates.htm. See also
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/temp...ons/index.html for information
on the relationship between documents and templates.
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.

Hope this helps,
