Hi,

I've created a form in Microsoft Word, with drop down menus and text boxes
etc. I created a submit button on the bottom of the form, but how do I make
the submit button send the form to my e-mail address.

In other words when I press submit in my browser it doesn't send the form to
me!

Please Help Me!!!!

Hi =?Utf-8?B?TWF0bG93?=,
I've created a form in Microsoft Word, with drop down menus and text boxes
etc. I created a submit button on the bottom of the form, but how do I make
the submit button send the form to my e-mail address.
The better place to ask this would be the word.webauthoring group. Word isn't
really the best application for creating web forms, however...

Searching "Submit button" in Word's Help, I turn up the text below. Pay special
attention to the Action section.

Submit the data that the user fills into other form controls. Every form must
have one submit button or one submit with image button.

Properties

Action Enter the location of the file that opens when the user clicks the
submit button. The action attribute becomes the URL of the <FORM> tag. Mailto
operations are supported in this field; enter the Internet mail address after
"mailto:".

Caption The text that appears on the button.

Encoding Stores the MIME type used to encode the submitted form. This field
defaults to "application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

HTMLName The internal name you assign to the control. The name is used to
identify the field name when the information is sent to a Web server.

Method The method to be used for submitting the form: POST or GET.
