Awesome tutorial! I combined what I learned in this video with some info learned in other videos. Here are some modifications that I made: 1) Enable the Developer tab on the ribbon. I used the content controls menu to insert fillable text fields, date fields, and check boxes that can be toggled on and off with a simple click. 2) Rather than using the alignment tools in the Layout tab to get all those checkboxes aligned, I built a table with no borders inside each of the big cells containing the options, then I lined up my check boxes and descriptions into the cells of the nested table - a bit easier! 3) I used the "Restrict Editing" option in the Developer tab to lock down all but the fillable bits of the form. If your check boxes are still inside those draggable text boxes, you might have issues with this setting... I couldn't toggle the check boxes on/off until I took them out of the text boxes.... but if you do like I did and align your check boxes using a table instead of using text boxes, you can get around this weird snag.

That was an excellent tutoriel. I'll watch it again tomorrow and do it with you.

Great video. Well organized. You showed us the final form of what you were trying to do for each task that you would be teaching and them showed them each separately explaining what you were doing and why as you were training each one.

Lisa thank you so very much! A question that I have scoured the comments for in this and others of your videos, is how to save the document with fillable fields in a way that a person can fill in the fields, but not be free to move other elements of the document. Perhaps I missed it? In another video you speak of using the "Developer" to lock in place, but that seemed to lock even the fields. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Hi Lisa, thank you so much for your helpful tutorials. I followed another video of yours for making fillable forms on Word using the Developer tool. Could you tell me how I add an area for someone to add an electronic signature? That's the only bit I can't figure out. Do I add a 'text box' in Developer? Can they insert their electronic signature into that? Thank you! B

Thank you so much for these clear and concise videos. I now have a new marketable skill :-). The only thing I don't understand is how to save this so it is not editable, do you save as a template?

Clear and concise. Brilliant! Much learned in a short time. However, this appeared in my search for fillable forms that can be locked so the user (in my case online students) cannot undo any of the original format. I found Developer, which seems to fit that bill, but had big problems with most of the basic settings. Anything on that in your nice, clear style would be MUCH appreciated.

I want to write a code for the command button that save the document as the content of “student name” field (plain text content control), and to save it into a specific bath directory, how can I write the code pleas ? can you drop the line code that do this when I click in this command button.? pleas your answer and thank you in advance. (PS I don’t want to print the command button in paper when I print out the document . can I make the command button unprinted?)

Can you help me with this issue I've encountered with creating bulleted lists in Microsoft Word documents, particularly in unprotected areas. It seems that requires a paragraph marker at the end to initiate a bullet point, resulting in the inability to start a list in the first line. Even after inserting two paragraphs, the first bullet point is automatically deleted, making it appear as if the feature is malfunctioning. when attempting to manually create a bulleted list by starting with a hyphen and a space, users may find that it fails until random text is inputted first. This behavior persists irrespective of whether content controls are used or not.

What happens when you have to complete the form, can one check inside the created boxes?

I'm struggling to do so many things..... i would prefer / love to pay a hard working honest kind individual who is willing to help such as yourself. You have spent so much time to build videos for people to view for FREE om KZread and they have helped a sp much more than any other company would that you would pay I'm in the UK started my own business. I have essentially expanded to a point the manual way i have been form filling has become a nightmare. I can't afford to pay a company like quick books or jotform or even jobber which is like a online cloud where you can create forms and fill them in emailing them to my clients. I could actually make my own like you have demonstrated but struggle 😪.

Hi Lisa, I'm sorry to bother you with a form that you posted in May. However, whenever I open my finished document, it is as if I'm creating it raw. Let me try and explaining myself better. The lines that I have taken out are taken out in the printable form, but are still faintly visible in the original. therefore if I was to send this to someone to fill in they could move around the box with the number of children etc. Or could add in commentary. Perhaps I missed a stage somewhere along the way? I'm using MS Pro plus 2019. @ Ian Bailey, hi. It's important that I can get this correct because when I work. I usually have limited access to internet and time.
