Word documents/templates

[johnfort]

I want to make a Word document or a template(whichever) where I can type
only in a few shaded areas in the document. The rest of the form will be
protected and inaccessible to any changes. I would like to be able to tab
from one shaded area to the next. I don't think I want macros as I don't want
to enter anything that is pre-recorded. I'll use many of the forms once
they are built and the information entered into the shaded areas will be
different from form to form.

Thanks

What you describe is precisely the functionality provided by Word forms.
It's all well covered in Help.

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

What you are talking about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this
in help. For more about online forms, follow the links at
http://addbalance.com/word/wordwebresources.htm#Forms or
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm especially Dian
Chapman's series of articles.

Hope this helps,
