Default Best practices for using forms

Refer to Doug Robbins Its says all about creatin form.

But let me tell you, if you want to create a form then it is ok. But
creating a form in Adobe Acrobat is recommendable, because you can work
offline, Add few more pages to your document and then upload them again. The
main reason form are not to be filled online. It has to has help us ofline
line too. You need not have to be persistentently connected to the network
everytime. You have to progressively fill your document at leisure and not
one time.

In Office 2003, I need an excellent way to create a form that will contain
some check boxes, date text box, dropdown controls, short answer type text
boxes, and long memo type spaces. I'm skilled at using the graphics and I
know about the Forms Toolbar, etc; I'm a veteran user, but not a veteran form
maker.

But, I'm hoping to draw on the experience of some pro's in this area; I
would like to know best practices and best methods for design. i.e. Do I use
a table and snap the controls into the cells; should I design a graphical
form that displays when the file is opened that contains the data (will it
even retain the info after the file is closed and reopened?), etc. What is
the best approach?

Right now I'm leaning toward an in-document form that is table based. Is
there a way to make the controls/graphics snap to the table cells? If so, how?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
