good morning good afternoon or good
evening where you might be watching
let's today look at some content
controls I see this group here in the
Developer tab called controls to see the
control group i need to make sure that I
do have a Developer tab here and the way
that I put that onto my ribbon was to
click on file options then in the
customize ribbon category i made sure
that there was a tick in the Developer
tab in the developer box there when i
take ik i saw the developer tags
available to me prior to that when I
didn't have a tick in there
I simply saw this i took the stick out
which is what happens by the folk red ok
the Developer tab is no longer there
therefore i can see that control group
so let's put it back
file options customize the ribbon put a
tick in developer and click ok and there
is now what I'm going to show you is how
to include in your document your word
document but also works in excel but in
word but we're using today i want to put
a date pick out he had at the incision .
by clicking on the Developer tab and
then this button here by however it says
datepicker content control and when i
click on it it puts that control in the
document Dennis's click here to enter
the date i click the drop ro2 album do
that and choose a date coaches a month
further up match what about the first
and when I took away
there is a date certain that please
ensure you advised your attendance by
and we'll put another date picker in
here and we'll say that the date we want
click on the I to be advised by is the
end of debris around about favorite the
27 when I took away
there are two dates there's a bit about
inserting that's like this one you have
lots of freedom mr. which dates you need
to enter into a document but secondly it
makes the formatting very very simple
because all i need to do is to click in
the middle of that date and let's say I
wanted to highlighted in red like it
bold maybe a talent are italicized etc
so whenever I click in the in the
control it selects the information into
control to my formatting qualities only
the same down here so we click in the
middle or make it bold italicize that
will change the calendar someone to prep
side blue color and when I took away of
course there are my formatted dates now
please indicate your drink preference in
this case in this area on the document i
want to insert I list that people could
choose from so what I need to do is to
use this button here which is a
dropdownlist content control and when I
do that it says choose an item
well what I need to do now is to go to
the properties and i'm going to simply
add the spine will say that people can
choose from coffee
or add they can choose t if they wish or
maybe they can choose water so when we
click OK and ok again we see that the
design mode up here is highlighted say
to make this particular control
available i need to unselect designed by
now all i need to do is to click the
drop arrow to choose an item and we'll
say they choose copy that i want coffee
they can choose water or whatever so
there is a way to insert content
controls into your document to enable
the easy completion of the document in
this case in terms of choosing file
items from a drop-down menu or drop down
list of jhalak and having insert dates
