(keyboard clicking) And finally, two more here, the reviewer. (keyboard clicking) And in the social media accounts area, in the social network field, I'm going to have this be a dropdown list, but the username can be text. Average follower count is a plain text field. I'll call it "Describe Vibe." I have all the same choices, except the ability to add carriage returns because they can automatically do that in a rich text field. It looks exactly the same, except when I go to properties. So this time, I'm going to choose Rich Text Content Control. I might want this to be rich text because I might want to give them the ability to boldface certain important words or have carriage returns. In the describe your vibe area, this is where the user filling out the form can tell us a little bit about themselves. And now I can just go through and find these fields that are going to be text or rich text content controls. I'll call this one "Email," and I'll make it so that it cannot be deleted. With it still selected, I'll click Properties. So I'll go ahead and click Plain Text Content Control. For a name and email field, I don't want to allow them this. And because this is plain text, I can decide whether or not my users can use carriage returns inside this value. I do want to lock this so that it can't be deleted from the form itself. I can have it be removed when the contents are edited. For example, maybe I want to make it bold-faced. So I'm going to go ahead and type "Name." And I do want to show this as a bounding box, that is, look just the way it looks now instead of seeing start or end tags. Because anybody using a screen reader is going to use this value to know what to put in this content control. Now it's not required, but you should always put a title in your form to make it inclusive to everybody and accessible. Now, once that content control is in place, I can select it and click Properties. Word has automatically given the user a visual cue that says, "Click or tap here to enter text." It even tells them to tap here in case they're doing this on a mobile device. I'll click where I want this content control to go, and I'll click Plain Text Content Control. I'm going to enter a plain text value into this name and email address field. Here's the great thing about content controls. We're not going to be using these at all. It's outside of the scope of this course. This is for people who are using much older versions of Word, such as 2003. And remember, we talked about this legacy tools area. There's a date picker, and something called a repeating section. Just a regular dropdown control, which is a list of choices, and the user can't add anything to it. They can use a combo box, that is a dropdown list of choices except the user can add their own choice to it. Check boxes such as yes, no, or multiple choice values. They can use something called building blocks, and we're going to be talking about that. The only difference between the two is that in a rich text field, users can enter carriage returns and format text like bold-facing and underlining it. Now, remember I said we'd be working in this controls area, and here is where you can find all of our content controls. I'm going to go ahead and change to the developer tab. Let's start adding some content controls to our form.
