Creating fillable Microsoft Word forms	Simple accessible forms can be created using Microsoft Word but you must be careful to use Legacy Control Types. You are generally safe with text boxes but check boxes and drop-down lists may pose problems for keyboard users or screen-reader users. Be sure to protect any non-fillable areas of the document to facilitate keyboard navigation between fields. To add a Legacy Control Type Add Developer tab to ribbon Add question text Choose Developer > Controls > Legacy Tools Choose Text Form Field or Checkbox Form Field In the Field Properties dialog box, name the field in the Bookmark box Click Add Help Text, > Type Your Own, and type in the form label that a screen reader will announce. To protect non-fillable areas of the form Developer > Restrict Editing In the Editing Restrictions area check 'Allow only this type of editing in the document' Choose Filling in Forms Click 'Yes, start enforcing protection' When prompted to enter a password, leave it blank and click OK
