Turn On Design Mode In Word

To change the wording or formatting of the control's placeholder text: Turn on 'Design Mode'. Highlight the placeholder text and make formatting adjustments as desired. Turn OFF 'Design Mode'.

  • You can also set the display mode for a content control by using the Word 2013 object model (discussed later in New Word 2013 content control object model members). The default rendering for content controls in Word 2013 is to preserve the look of content controls as they appear in Word 2007 and Word 2010; that is, as a bounding box.
  • To turn on the Typography group in the Ribbon, choose Word→Preferences and then click the Ribbon button. In the Customize area, select the Typography option. You can now find this group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. Office 2011 has improved support for typography.
  • Next, insert a Check Box. Enter a survey question. Press the Tab key (or press Return) to enter the optional answers. Type in three or four options. Select the Developer tab.
  • In the Developer tab, click on “Design Mode”. The design mode will fill the suitable data (Form Options) to be selected as a choice by the user. Step 10: For the Check Box Content Control, right click on the middle of the icon and click on “Properties”.

Symptoms

When you open a Microsoft Office Word 2010 or Word 2007 document that contains a picture or an object, the picture or the object may not appear. This issue may occur in a document that contains a picture, a graphic image, an AutoShape object, or another object.

Note

Cause

  • The Show drawings and text boxes on screen option is turned off.
  • The Print drawings created in Word option turned off.
