How can I convert Word 2010 form fields to text fields?
I want to make medical notes using combo form fields in Word 2010.
After using the form I want to convert the form fields to plain text.
I need to do this because my medical notes must become plain text after I have used the form.
I have used the previous forms in Word 2003 and could do this by using control-shift-F9.
I have tried to do this in Word 2010 but it doesn’t work.
I would be most grateful for your advice.

Hi Maurice
Interesting question about form controls in Word 2010.
Rather than using Ctrl+shift+F9 to convert your fileds to text try the following:
Press Ctrl+a to select all
Right click, Remove Content Control
Alternatively you can create 2003 style combo boxes by choosing:
Developer tab, Insert, Legacy Tools, Drop-Down form field
That would allow you continue working with the fields in the same way as before with Word 2003.
Hope that helps.
