Fields for use with forms

Applies to: Microsoft Office Word 2003

 

{ FORMCHECKBOX }
{ FORMDROPDOWN }

{ FORMTEXT }

These fields insert a check box, a drop-down list, or a text box in a form (form: A document that contains fill-in blanks, or form fields, in which you enter information. For example, you can create an online registration form in Microsoft Word that uses drop-down lists from which users can select entries.). You cannot insert or modify these fields directly. They're inserted by the Check Box Form Field Button image, Text Form Field Button image, and Drop-Down Form Field Button image buttons on the Forms toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.). To edit these fields, you must use the Form Field Options button on the Forms toolbar.
