Word 2007 Online Forms

[Carl_B]

I am creating a collection of forms to be filled in by technicians in a small
call center. The forms will be stored in a SharePoint 2007 library.
I need a means to be able to have the techs clear the form after using it,
without unprotecting and using the Reset Fields commands in the Legacy Forms
group of commands.
A macro possibly saved in Normal.dotm, and a button on the QAT seems a
possible solution, but I do not know how to do a macro to perform this task
for several differently named forms.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.
Carl

Thank you for the response. While the use of a template will certainly
protect the document from permanent change, the techs using the form need to
be able to get to a cleared form in a manner much quicker than saving,
closing and then opening another form (they are under time constraints, and
the forms are quite large and compex).
I still require a macro that will work resetting the fields in a variety of
forms.

It is unlikely that any other method that you might come up with would be
any quicker. You could however make the process more automatic by having a
macro on the QAT that used the command

Documents.Add "TemplateName"

There isn't a quicker way: Word is designed to use templates which is
quickest, simplest and reliable. Create a macro that will Save and Close the
current form and Open up a new form from the template. Add the macro to the
QAT.
