Default Office 2007 forms - can non-office 2007 users fill them in?

I am creating a form with office 2007, will those people who do not use
office 2007 be able to fill in my form? should I save it in a particular
format?
thanks

Provided you start from the normal template, don't use fonts that were
introduced with Word 2007, and save the form in Word 97-2003 document
format, anyone with Word 97 or later should be able to open it. Use only the
legacy form fields, to which end

easier.
