asked on
data form and document printing in ms word or office
Greetings,
I want to produce a contract using MS Word. Currently we use Filemaker.
Users enter data in fields and then it can be printed in a "Layout" which looks like a contract and in which the user entered data is displayed in the proper locations.
I can add content control fields in a word document. Is there a way to make the data entry form different from the printed document. In the current system there is a data entry layout and then that data is displayed in a contract layout which is formatted to be printed.
Can this be done in word or is it better just to make the contract with the content control fields in place and then the user just tabs through the document fields and enters their data?
Thanks very much.

If you go for a single layout, you can protect the document, so that the user can't click into the fixed text and accidentally modify it.
