Adding Content Control in Word

Question

How do I add a content control in Word?

Answer

Content Controls are the areas of the form where users can enter in answers. When you add a content control to a document, the control is identified by a border, a title, and temporary text that can provide instructions to the user. The border and the title of the control do not appear in printed versions of the document.

  1. Design the form by sketching a layout first, or use an existing form as a guide
  2. In your form, you can add content controls, tables, and other graphics elements
  3. On the Developer tab, in the Controls group, click Design Mode
  4. Click in the document where you want to insert a control
