Word 2007 - Active-X Controls vs. Legacy Form Fields

P

Patrick Jox

Hi,
I was using formfields to let my users define their input area. These
formfields have been filled out from code during document creation.

Since we are using Office 2007 I wanted to switch documents for use the now
recommended active-x controls. My problem is, that with these controls, the
user is not longer able to define a format for the textbox control. This
works fine for the datetime picker. But the formatting functions of the
textbox control which was quite cool in the legacy form fields are no longer
available.

Is there a workaround? Letting now the (key-) user define the templates for
his department and letting him formatting the output (i.e. numbers)?

Kind regards
Patrick
