if someone asked me a question about Word before I watched your videos, I would say I know everything. But I've realized now I don't know everything very well. Many thanks for sharing, spectacular
a skill added to my life journey. Thanks.
Fantastic tutorial, has helped me loads in creating a report document that requires a lot of data input from different sites, coupled with what I have learned with macros this has halved my time at the desk. Thank you so much, big thumbs up.
Thank you so much! I've got a template I use daily and wanted to add dropdowns to it. Your video was perfect and I was finally successful! I even added three date selection fields!! Thank you again.
This is awesome! Super straightforward and practicable. Thank you for this.

Thank you very much for the video. I am already exploring the Developer menu. It would be really useful if you can explain how can we limit the word number in a word-fillable-form. The manu is realy complex and I am getting lost in it.
Splendid video. Love your content and the way you explain things.
Thanks for the wonderful information. This is going to help immensely. Is there any way that this data can be extracted into Excel anyways?
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.
awesome!! just a qst , if i send the file to someone , can he fill the form?
@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

Did you figure this out? I am trying to do the same thing.
Can I scan in a current page for my business and then make all of the cells form fill or text fillable?
I use Libre Office could you make a video like this for Libre Office?
Do you know if the same restrictions and controls will work if you open the document with Google Docs?
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.
Wonderful tutorial. How do we make this same form fillable for those not using Word? Converting to PDF the drop downs are not working. Is there another way? Please advise.
I choose the same drop down option as you, but I didn't get the arrow. I just says choose an item, but there is not arrow there beside it.
Can you make form to calculate line item price and total price?
Hi so how do you send this over by email as so it comes back to you filled in great tutorial by the way clear and precise
Does anyone else have no arrow? I chose pick from drop-down.
is there a way to create a field and limit the number of words the field can contain i.e. 250 words?
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
I can't find a developer tab. I went online and the one downloaded Do I need to download like a new version I know I used to have it
The Eiffel Tower leans slightly toward the shade on sunny days.

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.
