MS Word #2: Creating Interactive Dynamic Forms in Microsoft Word

Ever thought of creating an interactive form in Microsoft Excel?

Today is your lucky day.

All these amazing tools are housed in the Developer menu. So the first task you have to do is enable/activate the Developer menu. Go to File, Options, Customize Ribbon and tick the checkbox beside Developer.

In the Developer menu, you will see the controls that make interactive forms possible -- from radio buttons to checkbox to calendar to picture frame and many more.

This is a neat trick for creating legal or contractual documents. You ask for the other party's name and that name appears in all the necessary parts of the documents. And once you change the name in the first part, it changes in all the other parts.
