Answer by  kd97 (733)

You need to begin with a template document created using all the styles you would typically use in a normal document. Then select Insert, and then Fields, and select "Document Automation" from the left column, and select the "Macro Button" from the right column. Examine the fields, and select "show field codes". You can also find table form tutorials online.

Usally Adobe *. pdf would be a wise choice in writing fillable documents. With mircosoft word it is very easy to always change settings and the document yourself. Even if it is encrypted and locked people always find a way to change it. With Adobe it's is a lot harder for end user to change it.
