In Word 2003, I often go to View |toolbars |and do a checkmark on "Forms" to
bring up the Forms toolbar. I can't get the forms toolbar up in word 2007.
It must be simple, but I can not find how to do it. TIA
 
MikeG,
No more toolbars in Word 2007 except for the QAT that is.
For forms go to Office button - Word options - Popular - check show
developer tab in ribbon - on the developer tab in the controls group click
the Legacy tools button. You will find most of the fields you were used to
in Word 2003.
To protect your form go to Office button - Word options - customize - All
commands - lock - add to the QAT.
 
What toolbars have you found in Word 2007 other than the Quick Access
Toolbar (QAT)!

Forms are now 'Controls' in Word 2007 though you can get to Legacy forms
controls too. They are all in the Control Group on the Developer Ribbon.

If you don't see the Developer Ribbon, you need to turn it on under Word
Options, Popular Tab.

Click to expand...

Click the Office button and choose Word Options at the bottom of the
menu. In the Options dialog, check the box to show the Developer
ribbon. All the former Forms tools are on the Legacy button in the
Controls group, with the exception of the lock icon (which you can add
to the Quick Access Toolbar -- in fact, the Legacy button itself can
be put on the QAT).

While you're in there, study the new Content Controls. You may be able
to say goodbye forever to the cranky Protected Forms stuff.
