Problem inserting leagacy tools or activex controls.

[DMurrah]

I converted a PDF form into a Word Form. A series of tables was created, but
Word will not allow me to insert form tools (check box, text box, etc.) into
the table cells. In another area of the document, I can insert a check box,
text box, etc. with Legacy Tools or AcitveX Controls.

Your tables are probably sitting textboxes. And you cannot place such
controls inside textboxes.

Select a textbox, then, from the the property dialogue:

Format > Text Box... > "Text Box" tab > "Convert to Frame..." button.

Now you can add the controls.

Also, once the tables are sitting in frames, you can remove the frames if
you want:

Format > Frame... > "Remove Frame..." button.

But then the table will move...
