In WORD, Interactive FORMS?

[JJPARKER_ONLINE]

Can a FORM set up in Microsoft Word be designed such that, via the use of a
MACRO, the form will prompt a user for specific field(s) information, and
then have the MACRO test selected field(s) for the presence of data? Ex. A
FORM asks for name, address, phone no. etc. information...the individual
field(s), or name, address, phone no., are validated via a MACRO...Thanks for
your assistance.

Yes, you can do that with Word. You can set up an ordinary Word form with
macros behind the individual fields; or a Userform running from VBA.
