Text Field box

[Big Mitch]

How do I insert a "text field box" in Word 2007? In earlier versions of Word
you simply place your curser in the spot you wanted and clicked the 'text
field box' button on the menu. Not so in Word 2007. Help.

First off, you'll need a PC, not a Mac (this is a Mac forum), since Word 2007 doesn't run on Macs.

Then, once you've got Word 2007 open, click on the Developer Ribbon and select the appropriate icon from the Controls block. Note
that the kind of form tools you used in earlier versions of Word are found under the 'Legacy Tools' icon.

Cheers

Hello Mitch,

As per the other post, you've landed in a discussion group for users of Mac
versions of Word (not your fault: the interface is badly designed).

You'll get leads to the other discussion groups here:

Mmmm... Word 2007 is running just fine on THIS Mac

(Many Mac users have Office 2007 loaded in Parallels or Bootcamp to add
functions that are not available in the Mac version of Office...)

And I have 2007 running in XP on VPC 7... But I think macropod's statement
was meant more to be taken tongue-in-cheek than literally

Yeah. Well I know Macropod well enough to be utterly sure it was

But I couldn't resist revving the old curmudgeon up
