Microsoft Word: Remove All Content Controls

If you've created a Microsoft Word template with content controls, but want to remove them all, there's an easy way to do so. In this article, we'll show you how to remove all content controls from your Word document or template.

To begin, go to the Developer tab in the Controls group and select Design Mode. From here, you can insert the controls that you want to use. Make sure to select the Developer check box and then OK.

Next, go to Customize the Ribbon under Main Tabs on the File tab. Select Options and choose Customize Ribbon. Here, you'll find the option to add or remove tabs from your ribbon. If you need to add the Developer tab, follow these steps:

* Go to the File tab

* Select Info

* Choose Convert

Note that if content controls are not available, it may be because you've opened a document or template created in an earlier version of Word.

To make your templates more flexible and reusable, you can add and configure content controls. For example, you might create a drop-down list control to allow users to select options from a predefined list. You can also save building blocks and distribute them with templates.

Building blocks are reusable pieces of content or document parts that are stored in galleries for easy access and reuse. To insert a text control where users can enter text, simply follow these steps:

* Go to the Developer tab

* Select Design Mode

* Insert the control you want to use (such as a rich text control, picture, drop-down list, or date picker)

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to remove all content controls from your Microsoft Word document or template. This will allow you to start with a blank slate and create new templates that are customized to your needs.
