How to Easily Create a Round Trip Fill-In Client Intake Form in MS Word 2003

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I recently created a copyrighted tutorial article for Technolawyer entitled Create a Fill In Form in MS Word and they changed the title to that above and published it with only one or two of the step-by-step screenshots that are a signature of my tutorials.

I have found, after years and years of training folks in the intricacies of MS Office that there are many methods of teaching. Not everyone learns from the written word; some folks need to see what I am describing to them with words. I really did not want to have something published under my name without step-by-step screenshots but Technolawyer told me that they “couldn’t handle images.” 

So, I am just letting my loyal readers know that if you want to see the original tutorial that I created, complete with screenshots for every step, I cannot give you access to their article, but I can certainly make my original copyrighted article available to you.

My tutorial showing you, step-by-step, how to create a fill-in form in MS Word,  will give you the wherewithal to create any kind of fill-in form that you like in MS Word for any topic or need within your company. You can then e-mail your form to customers, family, etc. who can fill in the required data and e-mail it back to you. If you are a teacher, you can even create a test  for your students using a fill in form!

The sky is the limit!  Once you learn how to create a fill in form you can let your imagination run wild and I know you will find many, many uses for fill in forms.

Create Mailing Labels Using MS Works

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

 

I have received a question asking me how to create mailing labels using Microsoft Works.  I don’t know of too many folks who use Microsoft Works as it really is a very stripped down piece of software.  Myself, I would use the Microsoft Office Suite or OpenOffice Writer for this task.

Follow the steps below to create your mailing labels using MS Works:

  1. Make sure the database you use to create your labels is up to date.
  2. Open MS Works.
  3. Open a new document within MS Works.
  4. On the Tools menu, click Labels. Make sure that you select the Labels option to create labels with different information on each label.
  5. Click on the Label Size tab to select the size of your label.
  6. Click on the Database tab to select which database you will be using to create your labels.
  7. Click on the Recipients tab to select the database records you want to use.
  8. Click on the Label Layout tab to select the database fields you want to use and also set your preferences for your labels.
  9. Click the Printing Tab to select your printing options.
  10. Click Test to print a test sheet of  labels.
  11. Load the correct size labels into your printer and print!

It really isn’t as daunting as one might think is it?
