Hello,

I'm developing a simple form. The form has a text box in it. I find I cannot
insert a 'text form field' control into the text box. I have no problem
inserting controls elsewhere.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks

KK
 
Forms toolbar.
Insert a frame rather than a textbox. What you are talking about is what
Word calls an "online form." 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. You may also want to look at

Hope this helps,

You are not doing anything wrong. You, me, nobody can insert a form field
in a text box. You can insert a form field in a frame if you like. The
insert frame icon so happens to be located on the forms toolbar ;-)
