I created a form in MS Word. I need to gather the data after I receive the
forms, and I wondered if I could create a spreadsheet in Excel that could
automatically take the information and add it to the spreadsheet without me
having to retype everything.

Is this possible?

Yes, though indirectly. Word will allow you to save forms as text/csv. Excel
can then open up the csv files.

Goto Tools/Options/Save/Save data only for forms/OK. Then goto File/Save
Copy As/"your file name". In the Save as type box, choose Plain Text. You
can then open this comma-delimited file up and convert it itno Excel (choose
comma as your delimiter). Hope it helps!
