In short: A filled out form is downloaded from the webserver and should be edited while preserving all the content controls of the template as well as the data within check boxes, text boxes, date pickers, and drop-down lists.

Confirm if this form can be filled or not. It would help to confirm if the issue is related to the Content Controls feature in Word for Mac or the specific Word documents you shared in webserver.

I'm using Word 2016 for Mac and trying to create a fillable form with text boxes, check boxes and radio buttons (Option Buttons).

Ntfs for mac 15 not working. Under the developer tab, I am only seeing text boxes and check boxes. Option Buttons are nowhere to be found. Searched online and all results show how to do it in previous versions but not in 2016. Contacted customer support via chat and was told that option buttons are not yet available in word 2016. This can't be true! Can anyone help me here? Thank you in advance.

Actually, I don't believe Radio/Option Buttons ever have been available in any version of Mac Word. I'm not contradicting Rich because I honestly do not know, but I don't believe it has anything to do with ActiveX - Mac Excel has 'em:-) although the Radio Button provided in Form Controls is different from the Content Controls & ActiveX Controls found in Win Office. All 3 categories of controls include that type of device. Please mark HELPFUL or ANSWERED as appropriate to keep list as clean as possible ☺ Regards, Bob J.
