I am a new user of Microsoft Office 2003, and I do not know how to use the
Control Toolbox in Word 2003.

Really appreciate your help.
 
Unless you're creating UserForms, I would avoid the use of the Control
Toolbox, as it inserts controls that will trigger a macro warning when a
document is opened.

The use of the Active-X Controls in the Control Toolbox require a
familiarity with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) programming language.
If you're not a coder - or don't have access to someone who is - those tools
won't do you much good. Start by looking up the Control Toolbox in Word
Help. For most forms design the Forms Toolbar provides the tools you need &
those don't require any programming knowledge.

Here's an article that will help some more in getting started. But pay
special attention to the section near the beginning about
"Appropriateness for the Task." IMHO these things aren't appropriate
for most tasks; a protected form or a userform are better.
 
Where is the article?
