How do i convert a form to text?

[Guest]

I created a fillable form at work (with fixed non-editable text, drop-down
menus, modifiable text boxes, and a few check boxes), I can print it so
that it looks like an all-text document, but I need to "print it" or convert
it to an all text, editable standard .doc document. Any recommendations?

Unprotect the document and unlink the form fields. What you are talking
about is what Word calls an "online form." Check this in help. 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,
