    How can you allow for multiple items to be selected from a dropdown list and then shown as list with commas? For example "red, blue, yellow. orange" but not the other colors that weren't selected.

    @teacher's tech I am trying to create a table where 1 cell is a dropdown list, upon selecting from the list I would like to populate the date and time in other cells. Any chance you could explain the formula flow to do this? I haven't found anything else yet that shows how to do this in a Word doc.

    Hello Jamie, Great tutorial and very easy to follow along. I do have a quick question. Is there a way to personalize the text "Click or tap her to enter text". I am creating a form and want to personize this, ie: "click or tap here to enter phone number", "click or tap here to enter address". I want to give specific instructions as to what I want them to enter. Thanks

    Once a Word form has been created, how is the Word file saved, i.e. with what extension, so that individuals can use their browser to complete the form. Does it have to be saved as a .pdf first? Do you have a video on that? Would appreciate a reply ASAP.

    I would recommend you begin by simply showing viewers how to make a basic fillable form without interjecting option after option. Once we could make a basic form the options would be easier to understand. You also assume we would know too much. Producing this essentially in Excel adds another layer of complexity. You merged cells without explanation etc and were immediately off to another function. I still don't know how to produce a basic fillable form. Cheers, JS

    This type of form would be more for filling out then printing or sending it back in an email. Like how Adobe PDF forms work for download and fill out.
