If it is a Word document, you will need Word to open it. Vista is an
operating system, not an application. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

As Doug points out, you'll need Word to edit it. You can view and print it
with the Word viewer (see http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...isplaylang=en), and it may be that this is what's intended. -- Suzanne S.

I see posts like this now and then and I can't help but wonder if the form
is not meant to be filled out on a computer but filled out by hand and mailed back. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Suzanne S.

I think that's more common than we might think. This is always my assumption
when a form doesn't contain form fields, though I'll grant you there are a lot of just really terrible forms creators out there. My husband used to have to fill out a lengthy (book-length) form after performing drug lab inspections for SAMHSA. At one point I modified the form so it would actually work, but they kept revising the document (sometimes more than once a year), so I gave up. It used to cause a lot of swearing, though, since the form had to be returned within a couple of days of the inspection for him to get paid. Another form I have to fill out occasionally for a client started out containing form fields but was not locked; it contained detailed instructions on how to change the Form Field Options on a check box in order to check it. I modified that one to work correctly, but it has now been abandoned in favor of one that just contains an ordinary table to fill in. -- Suzanne S.

Here's a really ugly hack, but it does work.
For "read-only" forms, what I do is call it up, screen capture it as a jpg, start word, and add the jpg as a watermark.
