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.

Greetings,<br />
<br />
I want to produce a contract using MS Word. &nbsp;Currently we use Filemaker.<br />
<br />
Users enter data in fields and then it can be printed in a &quot;Layout&quot; which looks like a contract and in which the user entered data is displayed in the proper locations.<br />
<br />
I can add content control fields in a word document. &nbsp;Is there a way to make the data entry form different from the printed document. &nbsp;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.<br />
<br />
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?<br />
<br />
Thanks very much.<br />
<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
