I am trying to take an existing Word document and convert it to
another format such that I can do the following: 1) add balloons that can be filled in by the recipient of the document (active document) 2) changes to the document by recipient do not change the spacing or format of the original document (locked) 3) the completed document with changes can be saved and/or printed Document is in MS Word 2002 BUT I will be using Office 2003 Pro to edit and make the necessary changes to adapt the file. Thanks to all who offer suggestions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have tried converting document to htm/html but it takes the 2-page document and converts it into a 1-page htm/html file. I may eventually post an htm/html version on webpage that offers the user the option of filling in online and printing a hardcopy for snail mail. THANKS again. MJR |

Thats the idea, yes.
It is intended to send to applicants as an email attachment. It's based on the hardcopy format that is currently being snail mailed. And down the road, we will be preparing a webpage based form that applicants can fill-out online and print and/or save and submit by either snail-mail or email.

Thank you for the list.
As I am doing this as a volunteer, I won't be availing myself of professional for fee services since no funds are allocated.
