Starting up a form NOT in design mode....

[Brad Pears]

I am new to this. Typically I use Word for very very basic stuff (Word is an
end user thing and I'm a programmer so don't use it much...)

A user created a form that includes check boxes. They came to me when no one
could figure out how to actually check the check box. I discovered that the
form was in "design mode" and that by clicking on the "design" button, it
took the form out of design mode - thus enabling the user to click the check
box. However, when the form is saved and opened again, it is once again in
design mode - meaning the user has to uncheck the "design mode" button each
time they open the form which is a pain in the a_ _! How do you set up a
Word doc so that by default it DOES NOT open in design mode???

Thanks,

Brad
