Default Is this a table?

Sorry if this is not the proper ng but from reviewing posts here, mine
seems relevant. A search of the MS web site and Google did not turn up
an answer.

Vista Home Premium / Word 2000

I have scanned some documents into Word and the formatting(?) seems to
work very well. My problem is I have a couple of documents I need to
modify. Specifically (and I admit I do not know the lingo), I want to
add a field to an existing document.
Scanned documents have tabable fields - I can tab from one field to the
next. I want to add a field to the document but I can't find in 'Tables
and Borders' how to do this. None of the choices seem to give me the
same type of field.
How do I add a field to a Word document?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customizat...nTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.
Form fields are often placed in a table.

Thanks for the reply. The link looks like what I need. If I have any
followup questions, is this the proper ng? I see no 'forms' ng.

This will do as well as any, and there's less traffic here than in
word.docmanagement, but you could also try word.newusers.
