This video is very on point and easy to follow. Just wanted to add one pointer as well. Instead of searching for the 'Legacy tools' in the search box. Simply enable the 'Developer' Tab in word to get quick access to all these dynamic content control boxes and buttons. To activate the Developer tab:- 1. Navigate to File > Options (bottom left) > Customize Ribbon. 2. In the right-side column, scroll down and check 'Developer'. 3. Click OK and you will have a new tab between the View and Help ribbon tabs. Cheers!!
Awesome tip, thanks for sharing! I would also mention to create forms with either all legacy tool form fields or all content control form fields, but if you create a form with a combination of both, end users may have issues tabbing through the form fields once the form is saved as restricted (for filling in forms). I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching and taking time to leave a comment!
Hi there! ISorry to hear that! I created a quick video after this one that shows how to enable the Developer Tab: th-cam.com/video/zKnMvK2YZ1A/w-d-xo.html in case you need it. (There is a different way to enable if you are a Mac user: th-cam.com/video/uYs11U0fLcE/w-d-xo.html). This was my first video on creating fillable forms so in the rest of my playlist, I was sure to let everyone know how to enable the Developer tab and find the Legacy Tools drop-down. Thanks so much for watching!! I appreciate it!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! This is the MS Word vid I've been looking for. 6 months ago, we've decided to go with a completely paperless office and it's a huge success. We now use our PC laptops (Dell is my personal favorite brand lol), smartphones & tablets to distribute & sign documents electronically (we also use Internet faxing services as well. Got so tired of the physical fax machines). I'm a full-time Graphic Designer and I also use Microsoft Office 2019 Professional to design interactive forms (in addition to presentations), brochures, newsletters & contracts, for each department of the public relations firm, and I owe it all to you. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful & informative vid. YOU ROCK!
Thank you, that is so great to hear! Going paperless is a wonderful process improvement for sure. I'm very glad this video was exactly what you were looking for and glad it helped you out. Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I appreciate you watching my videos!

Oh my goodness this help so much! I was trying to fix an existing form where you could just enter the fillable information. I was able to fix the checkable boxes. However it does not tab to the next field automatically when hitting the tab button. How can I fix that?
That was so simple! I'm following a course, but the instructions were so complicated, I couldn't make sense of them. This is so quick and easy, thanks!
I can't tell you how many videos and searches I've done to try and figure some of this out. Seriously, you are amazing. Thank you for the help. Great video!
I love your tutorials, and I agree with Katherine below that this was soooo much easier than the other tutorials I started to watch about creating a restricted form. Excellent work!!! I also loved your tutorials about creating MS Forms and Power Automate flows. You're a pro!!!

Hi I created the form the way you have suggested. But when I send the form the recipient cannot fill it. It keeps saying this is a read only file. What am I doing WRONG? Thanks
Many thanks for this - I hit a slight snag with starting enforcement of editing restrictions until I found that I needed to save the document as a macro enabled document (i.e.not a standard document) :)

I drove myself crazy trying to understand why my code didn't work for the 3rd and 4th options of my drop-down box. I wish you had clearly stated that IF statements are only for two items (no more). Otherwise, great video! I'm a fan!
GREAT!!! Thank you! Could you please also explain the following: 1. How to insert Radio Buttons (only one option may be selected) 2. How to create a numbered list in a Text field (each time the user hits Enter the next number in the current list is automatically created)
Hi Mamie! So glad to help. Be sure and check out some of the other videos in my creating fillable forms playlist that you may find helpful: th-cam.com/play/PLb80efKTbWuOe1LfFMNExEabkRkB5ehcv.html Thanks for watching!
Better yet if you click on File then go to Options, Select Customize Ribbon and on the right pane scroll down till you see developer, check the box and that way you can click the developer options tap. You will see a little suitcase with a wrench key, This is the legacy form tools she is talking about and saves you from having to typing in the search bar every time you need it. You welcome!!
Love your videos! Would you please let me know the advantages/disadvantages of using Legacy Tools versus the Word Control tools? Also, is there a way to change the default instructional text on every field at the same time rather than individually in Design Mode for Word Controls?
So glad you liked the video. I just uploaded a new video (Part 2) on how to use the content control form fields in case you might find that helpful as well: th-cam.com/video/n_Ni_fj-158/w-d-xo.html. Thanks so much for watching!

Question: How to format this form to gather data to a spreadsheet or other? Your explanations are great, easy to follow.
Hello! Here is a video that shows one way to do this to get data from your Word form fields into Excel: th-cam.com/video/vuddH0Tke0M/w-d-xo.html I hope this helps! Thanks for watching my videos and for subscribing to my Channel!
If you activate the 'Developer' tab under customization, you can have a dedicated tab for all of those form elements without searching each time.
Yes! Great tip! Thanks for sharing. I do have these videos linked in the description so everyone can enable the Developer tab.
TIP: Enable the Developer Tab in Word: th-cam.com/video/zKnMvK2YZ1A/w-d-xo.html

I drove myself crazy trying to understand why my code didn't work for the 3rd and 4th options of my drop-down box. I wish you had clearly stated that IF statements are only for two items (no more). Otherwise, great video! I'm a fan!

Better yet if you click on File then go to Options, Select Customize Ribbon and on the right pane scroll down till you see developer, check the box and that way you can click the developer options tap. You will see a little suitcase with a wrench key, This is the legacy form tools she is talking about and saves you from having to typing in the search bar every time you need it.
You welcome!!

Love your videos! Would you please let me know the advantages/disadvantages of using Legacy Tools versus the Word Control tools? Also, is there a way to change the default instructional text on every field at the same time rather than individually in Design Mode for Word Controls?
