simple tutorial to create a form with form fields in word 2007   

Hi, I would like to create a simple word 2007 document that features form 
fields to be filled in. 

Any leads to a simple and clear tutorial to do this would be appreciated. 

Thank you,

Peter Reck

This 5-part series of articles still applies:

The only difference for 2007 is where the buttons are. Instead of displaying 
the Forms toolbar, in Word 2007 you first go to Office button > Word Options 
 > Popular and check the box to show the Developer tab on the ribbon. On that 
tab, in the Controls group, click the Legacy Tools button; you'll find the 
Forms tools in the first row of the gallery on that button.

The Protect Document button appears further to the right on the Developer 
tab, and also on the Review tab. That opens the Protect Document task pane, 
equivalent to clicking Tools > Protect document in previous versions.

The lock icon from the old Forms toolbar isn't anywhere on the ribbon, but 
you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar by going to the Customize tab of 
the Word Options dialog, setting the category to Commands Not In the Ribbon, 
selecting the Lock item, and clicking the Add button.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, I have googled this for hours without coming across those 
leads!
