Did you know that you can use Word to create forms? Like paper forms, you can include check boxes and text fields. You can also include drop-down menus to give people choices. Word forms can be used online, distributed via e-mail or workplace servers, or printed out to be used as a hard copy.

Creating a form in Word has many advantages, including:

-          Ability to ensure consistency in answers (i.e., give the person filling out the form a limited number of choices)

-          Ability to add help to ensure form is filled out correctly

-          No need to decipher handwriting

-          Easy to update

In this section, we’re going to talk about the basics of creating a form.
