Thank you so much for sharing. Very informative. Can this be converted to a Google docs? If so, will the placeholders and restrictions still work?

I'm having a heck of a time with tab order in a Word form. I remember a time when this used to be easy to enter the preferred tab order, but now it appears to be gone. Can anyone help? I'm using Word 365.

I have no restrictions on my document and I have tried to save it as multiple type documents (i.e., docx., docm., .dotx), but I can't figure out a problem with the Building Block option. It will only open and work for me, but if I send it to anyone to use, it won't work. Any suggestions?

is it possible to link a check box to a different place in a document add text to that location - example if the user clicks in the box it would got to a different area and add a row with text

When I restict editing to "filling in forms", and then email the form to someone to use, they receive a message that the form is read only. Is if mandatory to create Word fillable forms in a table? I created the form I desired, and then inserted text boxes with content controls next to the field names. How can I lock down all fields on the document and only have fillable fields? Thank you!

is there a way to create a field and limit the number of words the field can contain i.e. 250 words?
