How do Respondents Use Content Controls to Fill Out OneNote Forms without Gem Installed?

2019-11-24 00:18
 
Gem for OneNote v44 add a new feature "Gem Content Controls Installer" to quickly install Gem's content controls without installed "Gem for OneNote" addin.
{C}
Before version 44, it need to install the "Gem for OneNote" addin for respondents to fill out the OneNote forms with Gem Content Controls.

This is inconvenient, and now we can insert the content control installer below the OneNote form and share it with the respondents who can simply double click the Gem content control installer under the form to quickly install it and fill out the form by using the content control.

The respondents opened the shared OneNote page, but because the Gem for OneNote plugin was not installed, there was no way to use the Gem Content Controls to fill out this form.

Here's one of the respondents who used OneNote 2013 to open a shared form in Window 8.

To fill out this OneNote form, you need to install the Gem Content Controls.

How to install a Gem Content Controls:
You can install the Gem Content Controls directly by double-clicking the GemControls.exe under the form.
