We have a weekly status report form that we are going to be asking each employee to submit. It is all typed in Word but we want them to only submit their answers and not fiddle with the questions. I guess it would be somewhat like using macros, which i have no idea how to do....Do you have a simple step by step answer for this? I am willing to email you the document if you would like to see what i am exactly doing......please help soon

Thanks
 
Susie,

No macro required. What you need is called a protected or online form.
They can be as simple or as complicated (with macros) as you like. For a
great place to start, see:

http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and the
linked articles by Dian Chapman.

Another alternative is a userform. See:

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.

Hope this helps,
