3. Noticed the Developer box is not
         checked, go ahead and check this box
       (this will allow the Developer tab to appear on your
        ribbon.)
      4. Once you have checked the box, click OK at
the      bottom of the screen (this should take you back to
         your Word document.)
Developer tab is now added to the ribbon on top
Let’s Get Started




*The tools within the Controls section are what we

 will be using to create the form.
Creating A Simple Form
• For this tutorial, let’s create a simple
  demographic form.
Adding Fillable Fields
• Put the curser after “First Name”
• You can choose to have a rich text(Aa) or a
  plain text(Aa).
• Click on either one; you will notice a fillable
  field next to “First Name”. (See example on next slide)
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the rest of the fields.
Adding a Pick List
• Lets add a pick list to our demographic form.
• I am going to add one more question to the
  demographic form.
• I want to add a pick list to answer the last
  question. Do the following to add the pick list.
  1. Put your curser after the question
  2. Click on the Drop-Down List Content Control
     option
3. It will give you a field like this, now click on
Properties.
4. Once you clicked on Properties, the Content
   Control Properties screen will pop up.
                  5. Click on Add
                  6. For this particular form,
                      type in “Yes” then click OK
                   7. Repeat steps 5 and 6, but
                       this time, type in “NO”
             8. Click “Okay” at the bottom
                        of the screen.
• Once you are done, it should look like this
  when you click to choose an item.
• If you would like to add check boxes, do the
  following:
  – Put your curser after the question
  – Click on the check box option. (This should insert a check
      box for your question.) (see next screen for an example)
