You can add content controls programmatically to any open document at run time by using a VSTO Add-in. To do this, generate a Document host item that is based on an open document, and then use methods of the Controls property of this host item.

The following code example uses the AddRichTextContentControl method to create a new RichTextContentControl for every native rich text control that is in a document, after the document is opened.
To run this code, add the code to the ThisAddIn class in your project.

For the functional form, I'm going to define the placeholder text to match the control title.
Note: Content control placeholder text can be a fickle beast. For more on peculiarities with placeholder text, see: 5 Curiosities about Placeholders in Word Content Controls. Obviously modifying placeholder text in more than a few controls can become laborious. If you care to use it, the process can be greatly simplified and speeded up using a simple VBA procedure. If you use the VBA procedure or just study the process, you will understand the value of applying properties to your form content controls!!
Remaining are the issues with the continuous loop tab and the placeholder text in uncompleted content controls. The first, while a nuisance, is minor and inconsequential. The latter is significantly more problematic. Both are covered in greater detail and can be overcome using VBA procedures. For many form designers, avoiding VBA procedures and the related security issues are a primary concern. If this is your case, then the content control placeholder text issue may be insurmountable.
The only remaining viable option, that I know of, is to simply set the placeholder text to to nothing and let the form design itself serve as the visual cue for data entry fields. By applying the techniques described above, I feel that form designers can create a content control form that equals in nearly every case what legacy form designers can produce. Still, there has to be something else to make the effort worthwhile. Let's face it. Legacy forms are pretty drab and their inherent protection requirement disables a large part of Word's formatting and editing capabilities.
Content control forms, in a addition to dropdown list fields, can employ the combobox content control. This allows the user to select from your defined list or add their own custom input. I am not aware of the physical limit, but both content control combobox and dropdown list controls certainly overcome the 25 item limit in legacy dropdown field lists. A Thousand and One Arabian Nights is no problem at all!! Earlier in this demonstration and discussion, I elected to use traditional editing restrictions to prevent form users from altering my form design and layout.
With that decision, and as is inevitable with any legacy form, I conceded to lose most of Word's enhanced text editing and formatting features. Alternate methods to protect your form design and layout, while some may be seemingly less robust, are available. All of the alternatives however, preserve and keep enabled many Word features that are disabled when traditional legacy editing restrictions are used and resolve the tabbing between checkbox issue.
When content is grouped as shown above, the free text and objects bound by the group cannot be edited or formatted. Content within the boundaries of the individually grouped controls are unrestricted.
The form appears to have traditional editing restrictions applied, but a whole host of Word features are still very much alive to the form user. The second, slightly more involved method, is to select the entire form content, apply a rich text content control and set the properties of the control to restrict editing. As with the grouping method, the form appears to have traditional editing restrictions applied.
In my opinion, neither of these disadvantages outweigh their simplicity and the tremendous advantage of having such a broad range of Word features restored for your form users!
Otherwise users could inadvertently delete the control. I'm pretty excited about this method.
