    Word supports different kind of text input fields:

    • “legacy” input fields that are implemented using Word fields:

      Selection.FormFields.Add Range:=Selection.Range, Type:= wdFieldFormTextInput

    • ActiveX controls:

      Selection.InlineShapes.AddOLEControl ClassType:="Forms.TextBox.1"

    • Content controls (Word 2007 or later):

      Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add (wdContentControlText)
