Default Can Word print onto paper forms?

Programs like Pdfill and Form Pilot allow you to scan a paper form into a
text editor, add text fields then print only the text field onto the original
paper form. Can Word do this?

Default Can Word print onto paper forms?

Word has the ability to Print Data only for Forms so you could insert the
scanned image behind the text and then insert FormFields in the relevant
places.

While it can be worth doing if the form is going to be re-used (saving it as
a template), it is not really worth the trouble for a once off.
