<h1>Insert content controls</h1>
<p>Using content controls you can create a form with input fields that can be filled in by other users, or protect some parts of the document from being edited or deleted. Content controls are objects containing text that can be formatted. Plain text content controls cannot contain more than one paragraph, while rich text content controls can contain several paragraphs, lists, and objects (images, shapes, tables etc.). </p>
<h3>Adding content controls</h3>
<p>To create a new <b>plain text content control</b>,</p>
<ol>
<li>position the insertion point within a line of the text where you want the control to be added,<br />or select a text passage you want to become the control contents.</li>
<li>switch to the <b>Insert</b> tab of the top toolbar.</li>
<li>click the arrow next to the <img alt="Content Controls icon" src="../images/insertccicon.png" /> <b>Content Controls</b> icon.</li>
<li>choose the <b>Insert plain text content control</b> option from the menu.</li>
</ol>
<p>The control will be inserted at the insertion point within a line of the existing text. Plain text content controls do not allow adding line breaks and cannot contain other objects such as images, tables etc.</p>
<p><img alt="New plain text content control" src="../images/addedcontentcontrol.png" /></p>
<p>To create a new <b>rich text content control</b>,</p>
<ol>
<li>position the insertion point at the end of a paragraph after which you want the control to be added,<br />or select one or more of the existing paragraphs you want to become the control contents.</li>
<li>switch to the <b>Insert</b> tab of the top toolbar.</li>
<li>click the arrow next to the <img alt="Content Controls icon" src="../images/insertccicon.png" /> <b>Content Controls</b> icon.</li>
<li>choose the <b>Insert rich text content control</b> option from the menu.</li>
</ol>
<p>The control will be inserted in a new paragraph. Rich text content controls allow adding line breaks, i.e. can contain multiple paragraphs as well as some objects, such as images, tables, other content controls etc.</p>
<p><img alt="Rich text content control" src="../images/richtextcontentcontrol.png" /></p>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: The content control border is visible when the control is selected only. The borders do not appear on a printed version.</p>
<h3>Moving content controls</h3>
<p>Controls can be <b>moved</b> to another place in the document: click the button to the left of the control border to select the control and drag it without releasing the mouse button to another position in the document text.</p>
<p><img alt="Moving content control" src="../images/movecontentcontrol.png" /></p>
<p>You can also <b>copy and paste</b> content controls: select the necessary control and use the <b>Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V</b> key combinations.</p>
<h3>Editing content controls</h3>
<p>Replace the default text within the control ("Your text here") with your own one: select the default text, and type in a new text or copy a text passage from anywhere and paste it into the content control.</p>
<p>Text within the content control of any type (both plain text and rich text content controls) can be formatted using the icons on the top toolbar: you can adjust the <a href="../UsageInstructions/FontTypeSizeColor.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">font type, size, color</a>, apply <a href="../UsageInstructions/DecorationStyles.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">decoration styles</a> and <a href="../UsageInstructions/FormattingPresets.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">formatting presets</a>. It's also possible to use the <b>Paragraph - Advanced settings</b> window accessible from the contextual menu or from the right sidebar to change the text properties. Text within rich text content controls can be formatted like a regular text of the document, i.e. you can set <a href="../UsageInstructions/LineSpacing.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">line spacing</a>, change <a href="../UsageInstructions/ParagraphIndents.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">paragraph indents</a>, adjust <a href="../UsageInstructions/SetTabStops.htm" onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)">tab stops</a>.</p>
