Add form

hi everyone kevin here today i want to show you how you can create your very own fillable form using microsoft word first off what is a fillable form you can have people go in and fill out a form but they won't be able to edit the questions or the structure of the form you can use things like check boxes text fields drop down lists date pickers to build your form once someone's finished completing your form they can email it back they could print it out or you could even connect it to a database connecting to a database is outside of the scope of today's tutorial it's kind of like an adobe pdf form but it's microsoft's version of it i've included sample files today if you want to follow along otherwise let's jump on the pc and let's get started here i am in microsoft word and to be able to do this first you need a word document that you want to transform into a form here i have an order form for the kevin cookie company to follow along once again i've included a link to this word document in the description you could access this word document and then do everything that i'm doing now i've heard that the girl scouts of america make a ton of money selling cookies with these types of order forms so i really want to do the same for the kevin cookie company now on this order form i have some basic questions like what's your name what type of cookies do you want to order and then i have a few other questions as well right now it's purely just a basic word document and we need to turn this into a form to create a form we need to turn on a new tab on the top ribbon to do that let's hover over the ribbon you could really hover over anywhere on the ribbon and then right click when you right-click a context menu appears and right in the middle there's the option to customize the ribbon let's click on that this opens up a dialog where we can customize the ribbon and over on the right hand side you see all the tabs that are turned on by default there are only two that are unchecked one of them is draw and the other one is developer to create a form let's check developer to make sure that's turned on and next let's click on ok we now have a new option appear on the top tabs on the ribbon called developer and i know developer might sound a little bit scary but we're going to walk through this step by step so don't worry we're only going to use two different areas of the developer ribbon today we're going to focus on the various controls to build our forum and then at the end we're also going to use the protect...
