Add A Web Part To NewForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx And DispForm.aspx (Edit Page missing in menu)

I am in the process of creating custom forms for a list of mine, and here I needed to change some styling, and doing so is easy if you just add a Content Editor Web Part and add the style tag in there.

So off to the site actions menu I went to edit the page, only to find the menuitem missing.

So in order to edit the form pages, open up newform, editform or dispform depending which ones you want the webpart to be added to.

Add this like to the end of the url after the page has loaded.

&PageView=Shared&ToolPaneView=2

You can add the webpart now, and after it’s added the edit page menuitem is “back” again.
