Hey gang. Is there any way to make a field required in a Word form or to
make sure people enter a certain value? (kinda like data validation in
Excel)
A student of mine wants to know if this is possible ... And I really don't
want to get into VBA with her, so if it requires VBA, forget it. But if
there's a way to do it by recording a macro or using any of Word's built-in
utilities, can someone point me in the right direction? I looked around in
the field properties and couldn't find it, but I could be missing something,
since I don't do a lot with Word forms.
If not, I'll just tell her to use Excel and data validation.
Thanks.
