*Define Content Controls found in templates

Maybe you plan to insert a customer’s name at the start of a newsletter or customize a section of content based on what the customer purchased last month. If your template will include such variable information, you can add content controls to the template as you create it.

A content control is a customizable tool you add to your page that elicits some kind of action from the person using the document. It might ask the reader to choose something from a list; it might offer check boxes or a comments box; or it might display information, such as customer name, product, or address.

To add and work with content controls, you must first display the Developer tab on the Ribbon. Just click the File tab, click Options, click Customize Ribbon, and click Developer in the box on the right (Figure B). Now click OK. The Developer tab is added to your Ribbon. You’ll find the content controls in the Controls group of this tab.
