Have you ever seen Word where all you have to do it type in your name in box or click on a box and it will put an X in it or click on a dropdown box and select from a list? Well this is a form toolbar. It is super for teachers to use for a variety of reasons.

Click on view, toolbars and click on form.

When looking at a toolbar when you see lines in between selections, this means that certain commands are grouped together.

The first 3 are the main commands.

This is text from field – adds a text box for you to type.

Check Box form field – used in places when you need to make a selection
