Using forms to create Word documents

S

Suzanne

I would like to create a form that has radio buttons, checkboxes, and places to fill-in text that would then generate a text document. I have done this before in Filemaker, but do not know if it is possible in Word. If not, is it possible in another Office program? Or, can anyone advise on another way to do this in Word? Basically I need to create documents wherein most of the information remains the same, but certain words change and some paragraphs/bullet points may or may not be included depending on the individual person the document is intended for. Thank you!

Easy if you know how to use VBA, hard otherwise. All the Office programs use
the same VBA, so the task is essentially identical in all cases.

Look on the MVP FAQ site for the page on how to create a userform. Also,
look in Word's help for "online forms" which have what you want except for
the radio buttons.
