Word 2007 Fill-in forms not working for Word 2003 users

[Bxrswfe]

I created a form with fill-in capabilities. It works fine for 2007 users,
but Word 2003 users cannot even click on the fill-in boxes. I tried saving
the document as 2007 w/2003 compatibility, and I also tried saving the
document as a Word 2003 doc...but it still doesn't work. Any idea what is
happening and what I should do?

If you used content controls, then you will have to redo the form, as they
were added in Word 2007 and are not backward-compatible.

Yes I did! So what do I use? The 'Legacy Tools' option instead? THANK YOU!!!

Yes, you'll need to use the Legacy Forms tools.

You will find http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic Form Controls.htm useful
when working with legacy fields in Word 2007.
