Sorry if this is not the proper ng but from reviewing posts here, mine seems relevant. A search of the MS web site and Google did not turn up an answer. Vista Home Premium / Word 2000 I have scanned some documents into Word and the formatting(?) seems to work very well. My problem is I have a couple of documents I need to modify. Specifically (and I admit I do not know the lingo), I want to add a field to an existing document. Scanned documents have tabable fields - I can tab from one field to the next. I want to add a field to the document but I can't find in 'Tables and Borders' how to do this. None of the choices seem to give me the same type of field. How do I add a field to a Word document?
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. Form fields are often placed in a table. -- Suzanne S.

The link looks like what I need. If I have any followup questions, is this the proper ng? I see no 'forms' ng.
This will do as well as any, and there's less traffic here than in word.docmanagement, but you could also try word.newusers. -- Suzanne S.
