Edit a list in a table by using a data form

If you have a very long table that you use as a list, such as an address list or phone directory, you can enter and edit the information more quickly by using a data form.

  1. Click the table.

    The table must have column headings. Otherwise, Microsoft Word uses the first row as column headings.

  2. On the Database toolbar, click Data Form Button image.

    Each row in the table appears as a data record. The text in each column heading appears as a field in the record.

  3. Use the Record arrow buttons to move between records. Type your changes in the fields, and select the other options you want.
