Creating Forms in MS Word

[[Jett]-OMEGA]

Okay, I'm trying to refine my forms so that the idiots in my company will quit screwing them up when they fill them out. I figure the best way to do that is to make forms.

Does anyone have any good online resources or tips they can provide me? I am a total noob to this so please don't overwhelm me if at all possible.

Thanks,
O

So are you telling me no one has ever created a form with MS word?

If you want to creat forms its easier to do it in excel.

It just doesn't look as professional.

It just doesn't look as professional. Also, if you need to add in a block you have to manipulate 50 other blocks to get it to look right. It's much easier to edit previous work done in word than excel.

Omegi I created some forms in MS word back in college, It's been awhile but I distinctly remember finding a website that had templates on it, from there you could change the questions to match your needs, took all of about an hour to make an extremely professional looking form.

It even let you edit the logos and ect to customize it to your companies, i'll look around and see if I can dig that up for you.

the templates are the way to go if you can find one close to what you need, however the second link will walk you through creating one from scratch if you wish to do so. Hope it helped.

Thank you. I will play around with this stuff tonight.

I actually use Microsoft Publisher to create my forms and then convert them to pdf for online use. I would use Word but it is easier to manipulate the text boxes in Publisher around the sheet to fit things in better.

I agree with pauper, online forms work well but they can be extremely overwhelming for someone to create with no previous knowledge of it.
