stop control toolbar from opening every time susie white 10.09.2006 19:17:01 I have created a form in Word with radio buttons. Every time I open the form, the toolbox appears, and I have to keep switching off the design mode. How can I stop this from happening?

Re: stop control toolbar from opening every time "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 10.09.2006 21:42:11 You have inserted ActiveX controls from the Controls toolbox. These controls are really intended for UserForms, which are invoked with a macro. Such controls also trigger Word's Security protection when you have Macro Security set to High. If what you want is a form that users can fill out online, you need to use a protected form, with form fields from the Forms toolbar; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to. -- Suzanne S.
