Create an Online or Printed Form in Word

Topic at a glance

Your company doesn’t have to live with poorly designed forms, and you don’t have to type and retype information as the form is processed. Instead, create your own online or printed form that meets the company’s specific needs. Then, if those needs change, you can quickly update or modify the form. And if it is online, users can process the form by routing it electronically.

You can create the form so that it automatically verifies and updates entries, offers custom Help instructions to users, and allows users to enter information only in the parts of the form that you designate.
