Form or Template?

[Guest]

I have used Word a lot, but never had a need to create a form until now, so I
am feeling lost. I need to create a form for different users to be able to
pull up and tab to fields needing populated within the document. Am I
creating a form (.doc) or a Template (.dot)? Someone told me if you create a
Template, you can't "Save Over" it without doing a Save As -- is that
correct? I have looked through the Microsoft On-line training courses and
did not see one that would help me get started making a simple form. Any
suggestions?

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/CreateATemplatePart1.htm for the
basics on templates and then read
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially
the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. This will
help with the form, which should be saved as a template.
