Creating Form in Word

Forms in Microsoft Word provide a way for you to gather information from the people you send them to. Once the respondents have returned their completed forms, you can then use another program like Excel or Access to store the results, or just view them in Word.

Before you create a form, you need to make sure the Developer tab is displayed in Word. If the Developer tab is not listed automatically, you can add it to your ribbon by completing the following steps:

1. Select the File tab
2. Open Options
3. On the left sidebar select the Customize Ribbon tool
4. On the right side ensure that the check box next to Developer is selected
5. This will add the Developer tab to the ribbon on the right side next to the View tab
6. Click Ok
