Form Fields & Active X

Since the form is for customers' use, I would recommend against using ActiveX controls. That's because they don't work on Macs, meaning any customers who use them can't use your form. As for your screenshot, TextBox4 is an ActiveX control, not a formfield.

Ok. Well I'm new to all the verbiage and these features in Word.

I want to protect the document and guide the user to only fill in the fields.

So what would be recommended?
