I want to send Word forms to people asking them to fill out thier name,
address, etc. and have them send the Word documents back to me. Once I get
them, I do't want to re-type their info - I'd like to extract the data out
into any type file, for eventual import into a custom Microsoft FoxPro
program. Hoe do I extport the fileds?
 
One of the options for form documents (on the Save tab of Tools | Options)
is "Save data only for forms." This should get you a little farther on your
way.

Hi Suzanne. Thanks for the suggestion. It worked great. Now, how do I put
data IN to those fields? (I'm a FoxPro programmer and can use any format.)
 
That I can't help you with!
