In Excel 2003, in the Data menu, there is a drop-down menu option that allows us to generate forms for the Excel table we have entered, with columns serving as titles. I attempted to replicate this in Excel 2007 but was unsuccessful. Is it possible to create such a form in Excel, and if so, how can I do it?

Thank you!
