In Word 2007 - where to find forms "fill in form field"?

In Word 2003, we used the forms tool bar to add "fill-in-the-blank" fields.
We installed Office 2007 at the beginning of this year, and now I cannot
find the Forms fields (ie: fill-in-the-blank, checkboxes, etc.).

Could someone please point me to the area in Word 2007 where these are
located?

Thank you!

First go to Office button > Word Options > Popular and check the option for
"Show Developer tab in the ribbon".

Now select the Developer tab. In the Control section, click the button that
looks like a folder, and that shows the tooltip "Legacy Tools". The Forms
fields are the first row of the dropdown on that button.

The Protect Document button is further to the right on the Developer ribbon, and
also at the right end of the Review ribbon.

The lock button that was on the Forms toolbar in 2003 isn't visible by default,
but you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar,
choosing Customize, setting the category to Commands Not in the Ribbon, and
selecting the Protect Document item to add.
