Start the Interface designer
The Interface Designer is a tool for creating customized dialogs, also known as interfaces, that allow the user to enter data for multiple input fields in the same place. Interfaces help you to make your calculations more user-friendly, intelligent, and automated. To start the Interface Designer in Tedds for Word, see the following instructions.
