Using MS Word to create and submit a form

Guest

What is the best way to create a form for end-users to fill out and submit
back to the person whom created the form? MS Word or Adobe Acrobat? The
goal is for the user to be able to fill out the form and send the completed
form back as an email attachment. We use Lotus Notes for our email. If the
form is created in Adobe Acrobat, Pro v7 most users would be submitting via
Reader v8. I created the form in Adobe Designer but the data is returned as
an xml file -- which we do not want. I prefer to use MS Word if possible.
Also, in forms (MS Word 2003) Where can I get info on adding macros (i.e.,
when you right click on a text field, there is an option to add macros)

Acrobat Pro v8 will allow you to create a form that can be filled out by
anyone using Reader v7 or newer and the data is returned to you as a .pdf
file. (I'm creating forms that way now.)

Thanks, that is good to know I can do this easily with AA pro 8. Hopefully,
we can get it one of these days. Since I am stuck with pro 7 for the time
being, do you have any other suggestions to do this that I can explore?

Thanks. Is there a way to do it using AA Pro 7 or MS Word? Hopefully, I
can go to AA v8 one day soon.
