Default Office 2007 Form...

Thanks to both of you. It actually WAS that I was trying to use the other
controls instead of the Legacy. The Legacy controls worked just fine. Thanks
again!

I guess you have used Word 2007 content controls? These were introduced with
Word 2007 and Word 2003 has no way of handling them. To create a form that
is compatible with all versions you need to use the legacy form fields - see
For help on creating protected forms, see

In order to use form fields in Word 2007, you will need to display the
Developer tab (Office Button Word Options Popular Show the Developer
tab in the Ribbon) and then use the Legacy Forms controls from the Legacy
Tools palette in the Controls group on that tab. You will find those
controls more accessible if you install the add-in from

I created a Form in Word 2007 but other employees who do not have Office
2007
can't use it. It doesn't allow them to type in it at all. Any ideas?
