I've watched several how-to videos for forms, and this has been the one from which I learned the most - not only for developing forms, but also ancillary information regarding other topics. Thanks so much.
Thanks Scott … 50+ years in IT and learning something everyday. Can't tell you the hours I searched the net including MS site for something presented as simple and straightforward as your video.
Very helpful! I have a contract form I use repeatedly for a client - the other party changes with each contract. It would save so much time to enter the name of the other party in one place on the contract and have it populate in directed fields throughout the rest of the document. All I have found so far is bookmarks, but the scripting is beyond my scope of knowledge and the time I have currently to learn it. Thank you for the extra info on forms here!
I have just watched a couple of your videos and must say these are the best! The way you explain and show exactly how to complete a function is wonderful. Thank you I look forward to see more.
AWESOME JOB.......starting to design fillable forms for my husbands HVAC service techs so THIS was extremely helpful and you moved along quick enough through the instructional and then reviewed the basic tools at the end. LOVE IT
Hello Scott. Thanks. Your video has been so useful for me. Anyway, I have had to watch it several times, pausing and repeating for better understanding. i mean there are many people like me that use MS Word at the half of its efficiency because sometimes we don't need more but, from time to time, the idea is to improve the "how to do" the things. I'd like to suggest you to go a little slow and, maybe, to explain a little more how you go so fast between fields, for example: At the end of the video, you fill the table with checking boxes really fast. I know it is easy but, let us know how to do those small details that really help to save time. Thanks.
I'd like to see what the average non programmer could do with some simple scripting and automation in these forms. Maybe demystify the macros and vbscript stuff for my mom, for example.
Great series of videos - I've been using Word since WinWord 2, and I thought I knew most of the options etc., but somehow I either missed (or forgot) that you could set the tab leader character to eg underscores In return, one of my favourite tips, is to select some text, hold down Shift, then repeatedly hit F3 - this cycles the formatting of the selected text between Initial Caps, All Caps, and All lowercase and back again Another couple of odds & ends that most don't know are "the Spike", and "=Rand()"
This is such an excellent video, I normally don't comment at all but I have to say you have done very well; I'm finding myself viewing your video after more than a year from first watching it and I have to say I appreciate it.
This was exactly what I needed. The pace was good. I will proceed to creating a form for use in my office immediately. I appreciate the advice you give on making your document attractive and well organized. Whether I'm developing a spreadsheet or a form, I want it to be attractive and easy to scan -- visually inviting.
Enjoyed your presentation. Thanks for making these available. I've had some difficulty creating forms that a user can use the tab key to move forward to the next field. Do you have a video that addresses this problem?
Great video. I would love to have a video on using variables in Word (i.e., entering data into a form and then using that data within the text such as using the entered name several places in the overall text of a letter).
I have this same issue. I want to have them input a date or a name and have that information be used throughout the form; is there a way to do that like Adobe? BTW, great video, your "office skills" are awesome.
Thank you for the details. There are so many tips that I will now incorporate to everyday word use. I appreciate this, and looking forward to checking out your other videos!
Scott, I have just viewed your 4 videos on "How to REALLY use Microsoft Office: ". I think they are tremendously helpful, easy to follow and very well done! I would like to learn more!! In the videos you make reference to creating a number of additional ones but I cant seem to locate them. Are they available somewhere else?
Hi Scott, when you have, what we call "reveal codes" on...what is the little anchor that shows up? I don't know what it is called so not sure what to search for. I see it in old documents we have at work...mostly in forms and I don't know what they are or how to turn them off. If you have already done a video on this, please direct me to it! I am subscribing right now! Your videos are easy to understand and I learn a lot just from this video!
Hi Scott! You still out there? When I email my completed form my Customer's aren't able to type spaces. Do you know what step I may have skipped. Very good video. Thanks, Karen
Hi Scott Hanselman, always great to follow your work. I would like a video show casing [how Forms In Word can utilize drop down selections(Filtering)], obviously to allow a person to filter down per drop down field. So each field is cascading on the result of the next field selection. Ex selecting Car Make, would filter the next box to have Car Models - I mean not everyone is going to spell such things correctly.
Hello Scott, this was a very good tutorial is was easy to follow and explained a lot. I have tried making my first form, I am not sure if I have missed something but if there is a fair few lined in the " Plain text Content Control" box the entire document shifts down the page. Did I do something wrong or is this the nature of the beast? Cheers Rod
Excellent video! I learned a lot and look forward to watching some more! I do have one question though. I created a fillable form using your tutorial. It is a technical data form for use with rotating equipment. On several lines, I included three sets of data . For example: Manufacturer, Model Number, and Serial Number. There is plenty of room on one line for all of this information. However, when I go into the form to use it and begin typing in the content control box, the other text and control boxes on that line move with the text! Which is of course the exact kind of thing having an on line form was supposed to help me avoid. I only used plain text control boxes. Can you point me to how I can avoid this problem on my form? Note that I do not want to turn this into a form with a bunch of text boxes if I can avoid it.
Wait, how come I can't give this three thumbs up? I came for automation and found help for nagging things that I didn't think to ask for all in the same place! Thank you!
Hi! Very good and clearly explained video! I was wondering if the step in 9:58 could be done based on an external sourced table. My idea is to have all the drop down lists together in one Excel file which would make it easier to update if necessary. Thanks in advance!
Hi Scott, this video was incredibly helpful! Thank you for making it. I have a couple of questions after I made my own form. Is there a way to lock how many digits can go in the plain text control content (for a phone number or social security space). For example, I added the dashes in between the control content, but a person could easily just type the whole number before realizing they actually needed to tab over to make use of the dashes I put in to make it easier to read on my end. Same with when the control content they input is larger than the space I allowed for, it moves my tab over and changes the spacing on the document. Is there a way to lock down everything except for the allowed fillable space? Like a pdf? Your video on tabs and spacing was also most insightful and I realized what a mess my docs are. I'm cleaning them up, though. One other thing, do you have a video on transferring the information from the document to excel or access? How does someone fill out a form online and then submit it? Thank you! Kristi
Scott, great video. I'm trying to make a cover travel form for my faculty to fill out so that I can process their travel. I need them to be able to put not only dates but times too. Also I need them to be able to select more than one option in a drop down box in some places. Can you help me learn how to do this with a more advanced look into word forms? Thanks!
Thank you for posting this. I do have some questions that may be pushing the boundaries for MS Word. 1) When I use the TAB key within an entry field, it adds a tab. It does not bring me into the next entry field. Is there a way to force TAB to exit one field and enter the next? 2) I need to be able to continue format numbering, so that hitting ENTER will automatically trigger the next number (1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc.). Is this possible? I do get the feeling that forms are an afterthought for Word. Features such as drag-and-drop objects, intuitive field properties, field types, are not part of the program. Outside of Word, what tool would you recommend?
Hello Scott. Great videos! How do you get identical fields to repeat same information (contracts for example) automatically without having to re-enter? Ie: Paragraph 1 Vendor name : John Doe Paragraph 2 Vendor name : John Doe etc...? Thanks in advance
Hello Scott, great job, very useful. Just subscribed as well. Do you have any vids on how to setup a submit button that can email a fillable form? I have found a view but I need something with as much in depth deatail as you provided in this video. Or any suggestion on were to find a tutorial as good as yours.
Thanks for the thorough tutorial on forms. I only have one question. When using tables as part of your form, often times people can insert a line break even when the form is restricted. How can I prevent that from happening?
Scott, The reason I became interested in your videos is that I am working on a project that requires requesting specific information (forms) from different types of responders. I am have created a master "Request for Information" which I would like to be able to pull from the master specific questions and tailor about 10 RFIs geared towards the different types of responders (using styles to maintain consistency of format and create tables of content etc.). Then capture the responses so that the information can be analyzed individually as well as collectively(categorized, normalized and scored). The answers to the questions are in many formats, yes/no, scale of 1-5, dates, limited length text and free form text. I have created an access database to house the information and was just starting on building the questionnaires as access forms but believe it would be much better if I were able to somehow create them in word and then translate the responses into Access. Would you please comment on what you think would be the best route for me to take? Thank you!!
Your tutorial was very helpful and easy to understand. Can you tell me how I can set it up for the user to hit enter instead of clicking into every field to maneuver through the form and if there is repetitive information can you simply enter the data in a field and have it auto populate the data into all the fields with that same title?
This is a great video. I am wanting to upgrade our company forms so they don't have to be printed and filled out manually. I have created the .docx form and restricted editing to "filling in forms" but when I email it to myself I am unable to type into the form or use the drop down options. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help!
I've watched your video several of times and it is very good. I'm having a problem with trying to merge information into a protected report form that also has user input options. The user input options work great when the document is protected but I can't merge. I can turn off the protection and merge the document, but it would have to be protected again before the user puts in the variable information. Will a macro that automatically protects the document be a possible solution?
Hi Scott, I'm trying to create a form where it is easy to tab between the text fields or drop boxes to hurry through a form. Your video is great and got me started but I haven't been able to make it work. Am I missing something? Thanks
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Is there a way of filling out a web form and then populating the data into a preformed word template? Example. Suppose I have a content of items. When I click on a particular topic on the content, and click finish/ok, it populates on a word document. If the topics are a new chapter, then it is populated in a new page, with subheading, etc.
I am needing to create a Contract Agreement. How do I get certain fields to have the same content through out the contract. For exampe, Once the Company Name is entered, I would like for it to show up in all of the fields where the company name should be. I have a terrible way with words and trying to explain what I'm needing, so i hope this makes sense.
Great videos! What if I want allow users to insert rows in a table? Is it possible with forms without vbscripts? I would like a deep dive into forms controls. good job!
I would like to see a "how to REALLY use Microsoft Office - Create templates". All Corporate templates I've been forced to use has really been documents stored as *.dotx, giving no support or benifits for me as a user, and I usually end up editing the template or copying an old document as a template, depending on what is faster to get started writing on my document.
Hi Scott, thank you I learnt a lot by watching your video. I'm a teacher and so I would like to know whether it's possible to create a quiz using the Developer tools on Microsoft Word where the responses could be corrected automatically, such as MCQs, matching activities, fill in the blank questions, etc. Thank you.
Honestly I was preparing for a test a few days ago, and I was looking for how to do Tab formatting on MUTLIPLE lines and could not for the death of me find any information on it, and I remembered that I saw it in this video, fucking went through my browser history to find this video. It was extremely helpful thank you :D
Fantastic video. I am struggling right now to create a form where the information filled in covers up to three lines. I need these lines to show up all the time and for the user to be able to type out the information and it to automatically drop down onto the next line in a continuous flow. Right now it just starts on the top line and then pushes the document downwards when it overflows the first line. Does this make sense. I know its driving me crazy right now!!!!
I just found your channel. I am moving from Mac to Windows. I am used to Pages and InDesign, and Word is not intuitive. Do you have videos that orient how a user should think and interact with Microsoft Office?
Do you have any videos where you're demonstrating conditional (IF/Then) statements in MS Word? For example, your response to question 1 would determine if you move on to question 2 or if you should skip to question 5.
I think this is an awesome video but It's hard to keep up. I'd like to create a page that has more then one form on the page so that it can be printed, cut and padded. Can you please show me how to do that? I'm assuming it would be better in a table... Thank you!
Lot of thanks, my dear Scott I learned new things today and I would be very interested in hearing more on forms but I face some problem when I am re open saved file after created form the message show like this "we're sorry. We can't open 123 file because we found a problem with its contents" some thing do in this regard. Thanks
Very nice. What about using your new form as a report from an asp.net application? Your .net app would query the database and fill in the form with the data. I use Acrobat forms to do that. I've been looking for a better solution. We use Word to create the report, then we convert it to a PDF, then we tag in the Fields using Acrobat. Be nice to do everything in Word.
Great video! Is there a way to make the form printable so that the fill-in fields do not print the comment: "Click or tap to enter?" I want to be able to send the form to people who want to print it and fill in by hand as well as those who want to fill it in online.
Thank you for this video.It is helpful for me. How do you customize the template every time you enter for the next page the form is automatically ready to be fill as the first one? Many thanks
I've watched several how-to videos for forms, and this has been the one from which I learned the most - not only for developing forms, but also ancillary information regarding other topics. Thanks so much.

I've watched a ton of Microsoft tutorials & your videos are BY FAR the best. Thank you, THANK YOU for making these videos.
I concur ! this is the Greatest word tutorial I've seen !! for me to actually log in to comment (something I do 2-3 time per year) mean a lot.
HE IS GOOD I THOUGHT HE WAS AN ARY BEFORE
Very helpful! I have a contract form I use repeatedly for a client - the other party changes with each contract. It would save so much time to enter the name of the other party in one place on the contract and have it populate in directed fields throughout the rest of the document. All I have found so far is bookmarks, but the scripting is beyond my scope of knowledge and the time I have currently to learn it. Thank you for the extra info on forms here!
This man is a magician. Just dropping mics left and right.
Wow! Blown away!! I have been struggling all day to create a form, and in 15 minutes, had all the answers I needed! Loved it!!
Thank you for making this video. It is not only very interesting, but also very helpful the way you teach it. Thanks again.
The easiest to follow tutorial on Word I have ever seen by a mile. Thank you
I normally don’t comment on videos, posts in blogs and things of the like, but mister your videos go above a beyond! Please keep it up.
Thank you for this tutorial. I rarely find such an evenly paced, easy to follow, instructional video regarding WORD features.
I have just watched a couple of your videos and must say these are the best! The way you explain and show exactly how to complete a function is wonderful. Thank you I look forward to see more.
AWESOME JOB.......starting to design fillable forms for my husbands HVAC service techs so THIS was extremely helpful and you moved along quick enough through the instructional and then reviewed the basic tools at the end. LOVE IT
5 years later and its still relevant. Thanks

This is soooo helpful-- and clear. Appreciate the red circles showing where you are navigating to! Thank you!!!
The best word tutorial I have ever watched. Can you please explain making forms more advanced?
I'd like to see what the average non programmer could do with some simple scripting and automation in these forms. Maybe demystify the macros and vbscript stuff for my mom, for example.
Thanks...it's fun watching and learning from someone that knows how to use Word. Greatly appreciated.
Great series of videos - I've been using Word since WinWord 2, and I thought I knew most of the options etc., but somehow I either missed (or forgot) that you could set the tab leader character to eg underscores
In return, one of my favourite tips, is to select some text, hold down Shift, then repeatedly hit F3 - this cycles the formatting of the selected text between Initial Caps, All Caps, and All lowercase and back again
Another couple of odds & ends that most don't know are "the Spike", and "=Rand()"
Wow! you are the Yoda of Word! I can now make a proper form and feel proud to hand it out to staff. Thank you!
This is such an excellent video, I normally don't comment at all but I have to say you have done very well; I'm finding myself viewing your video after more than a year from first watching it and I have to say I appreciate it.

Thank you for your very helpful tutorial.
Started working where I need to update SOP forms and this is so much easier than working through PDF eForms.
Interesting, helpful and well presented tutorial. Thanks very much. I shall look out for others that you have taken the trouble to prepare.
Your videos are amazing!! Do you also have videos on Powerpoint and Excel? Thank you!
I really enjoy your pace and presentation style, any chance you could do something of this type for excel?
Thank you for the details. There are so many tips that I will now incorporate to everyday word use. I appreciate this, and looking forward to checking out your other videos!
Hey Scott,
Your videos are really helpful for me in graduating to become a reasonably good user of MS word. Thanks.
I knew this could be done and in another life I created forms in Word but could I remember how??!! Thanks for a great tutorial.
Thank you Scott - awesome tutorial, easy to follow and a lot of good pointers. I look forward to watching more that you have to share.
Scott, I have just viewed your 4 videos on "How to REALLY use Microsoft Office: ". I think they are tremendously helpful, easy to follow and very well done! I would like to learn more!! In the videos you make reference to creating a number of additional ones but I cant seem to locate them. Are they available somewhere else?
Great series, Scott. I would love a deeper look at forms. Thanks for all your educational stuff. I have been a follower for years.
Hi Scott, when you have, what we call "reveal codes" on...what is the little anchor that shows up? I don't know what it is called so not sure what to search for. I see it in old documents we have at work...mostly in forms and I don't know what they are or how to turn them off. If you have already done a video on this, please direct me to it! I am subscribing right now! Your videos are easy to understand and I learn a lot just from this video!
First of all this was great! Did you ever do a more in-depth version of this forms video? I would be very interested in hearing more on forms. Thanks!
This is very helpful. I am struggling with aligning checkboxes in a table. They do not come out aligned across the columns/rows. Thank you.
Hi Scott! You still out there? When I email my completed form my Customer's aren't able to type spaces. Do you know what step I may have skipped. Very good video. Thanks, Karen
Awesome Video...how did you click through adding all of those check boxes so quickly?
Hi Scott Hanselman, always great to follow your work. I would like a video show casing [how Forms In Word can utilize drop down selections(Filtering)], obviously to allow a person to filter down per drop down field.
So each field is cascading on the result of the next field selection. Ex selecting Car Make, would filter the next box to have Car Models - I mean not everyone is going to spell such things correctly.
Absolutely brilliant tutorial - I wish all the others were as good as this.
Brilliant. Want more...on creating sequence numbering each time you open a word doc. Eg as in an invoice, order etc.
BRO, you are good! Love your instruction, your videos are well orchestrated especially with the additional visual aids you improvise on! Very good!
Microsoft should pay you to produce a suite of these tutorials. Then we can all be wizards and make life easier
Thanks for the video and the general help - now I am ready to tackle my document project.
Hello Scott, this was a very good tutorial is was easy to follow and explained a lot. I have tried making my first form, I am not sure if I have missed something but if there is a fair few lined in the " Plain text Content Control" box the entire document shifts down the page.

Hello Scott. Great videos! How do you get identical fields to repeat same information (contracts for example) automatically without having to re-enter? Ie: Paragraph 1 Vendor name : John Doe Paragraph 2 Vendor name : John Doe etc...? Thanks in advance
Love your tutorial videos Scott. Now that the form is made, how do I make a button allowing it to be submitted back to me once it is filled out?
Great series, could you make part about image positioning.
wow this was really helpful and you know your stuff. I think you just taught me a lot in a short time. thanks
Explained very clearly. I just wish there were a few more pauses so that you have time to really think about the steps. Easy to listen to.
Great tutorial! Many many Blessings to you Scott!!!
Hello Scott, great job, very useful.
Just subscribed as well. Do you have any vids on how to setup a submit button that can email a fillable form? I have found a view but I need something with as much in depth deatail as you provided in this video. Or any suggestion on were to find a tutorial as good as yours.
Thank you! This really helped me to create the form I wanted. I'm definitely going to be checking out some of your other videos.
Now I know how to get started on a decent looking form for people to fill out.
Thanks for the thorough tutorial on forms. I only have one question. When using tables as part of your form, often times people can insert a line break even when the form is restricted. How can I prevent that from happening?
thank for this tutorial, I want to learn how I can make a variable that automatically change based on choices that chosen on the drop box
Very thorough, clear tutorial. Thanks

I have created the .docx form and restricted editing to "filling in forms" but when I email it to myself I am unable to type into the form or use the drop down options. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help!
Some day you can show some secret shortcuts as F4 to foster your productivity in office. F12 and Shift-F5 are also cool.
Thanks for your videos.
I've watched your video several of times and it is very good. I'm having a problem with trying to merge information into a protected report form that also has user input options. The user input options work great when the document is protected but I can't merge. I can turn off the protection and merge the document, but it would have to be protected again before the user puts in the variable information.

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. Is there a way of filling out a web form and then populating the data into a preformed word template? Example. Suppose I have a content of items. When I click on a particular topic on the content, and click finish/ok, it populates on a word document. If the topics are a new chapter, then it is populated in a new page, with subheading, etc.
I haven't found a video that shows how to create a box that limits space but lets you type say for lines of text but more?
This video is perfect for what I needed! Thank so much!
I am needing to create a Contract Agreement. How do I get certain fields to have the same content through out the contract. For exampe, Once the Company Name is entered, I would like for it to show up in all of the fields where the company name should be.

Great videos! What if I want allow users to insert rows in a table? Is it possible with forms without vbscripts?
I would like a deep dive into forms controls.
good job!
You are a good teacher. Thank you
I would like to see a "how to REALLY use Microsoft Office - Create templates". All Corporate templates I've been forced to use has really been documents stored as *.dotx, giving no support or benifits for me as a user, and I usually end up editing the template or copying an old document as a template, depending on what is faster to get started writing on my document.
Hi Scott, thank you I learnt a lot by watching your video. I'm a teacher and so I would like to know whether it's possible to create a quiz using the Developer tools on Microsoft Word where the responses could be corrected automatically, such as MCQs, matching activities, fill in the blank questions, etc. Thank you.
Honestly I was preparing for a test a few days ago, and I was looking for how to do Tab formatting on MUTLIPLE lines and could not for the death of me find any information on it, and I remembered that I saw it in this video, fucking went through my browser history to find this video. It was extremely helpful thank you :D
Fantastic video. I am struggling right now to create a form where the information filled in covers up to three lines. I need these lines to show up all the time and for the user to be able to type out the information and it to automatically drop down onto the next line in a continuous flow. Right now it just starts on the top line and then pushes the document downwards when it overflows the first line. Does this make sense. I know its driving me crazy right now!!!!
Great Video! learn so much. Thank you for taking the time to prepare and share your talents.
Could you show how to create a combo/list box in a form that allows multiple selection in a Word Document?
Wow I learned a lot. Compatibility Mode, Designer Ribbon SHIFT-ENTER Nice! Thanks
I just found your channel. I am moving from Mac to Windows. I am used to Pages and InDesign, and Word is not intuitive. Do you have videos that orient how a user should think and interact with Microsoft Office?
Do you have any videos where you're demonstrating conditional (IF/Then) statements in MS Word? For example, your response to question 1 would determine if you move on to question 2 or if you should skip to question 5.
Quanitra Thurston is this even possible?
Thank you for the info. You made this so easy. Appreciated!
This was pretty great. Thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial.
I think this is an awesome video but It's hard to keep up. I'd like to create a page that has more then one form on the page so that it can be printed, cut and padded. Can you please show me how to do that? I'm assuming it would be better in a table... Thank you!
Lot of thanks, my dear Scott I learned new things today and I would be very interested in hearing more on forms but I face some problem when I am re open saved file after created form the message show like this "we're sorry. We can't open 123 file because we found a problem with its contents" some thing do in this regard. Thanks
Nice Job Scott! Very helpful
This was very helpful and you have a nice radio voice! Great video! Thank you!
Subscribed. Now go pro on this. I want to use this well.
Very nice. What about using your new form as a report from an asp.net application? Your .net app would query the database and fill in the form with the data. I use Acrobat forms to do that. I've been looking for a better solution. We use Word to create the report, then we convert it to a PDF, then we tag in the Fields using Acrobat. Be nice to do everything in Word.
Great video! Is there a way to make the form printable so that the fill-in fields do not print the comment: "Click or tap to enter?" I want to be able to send the form to people who want to print it and fill in by hand as well as those who want to fill it in online.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video.It is helpful for me. How do you customize the template every time you enter for the next page the form is automatically ready to be fill as the first one? Many thanks
Outstanding tutorial. Thank you for posting and creating.
