I am trying to run a survey and distribute a form that contain my
questionnaire. I had a hard time doing this in infopath. I am wondering if
there is an easy solution in word?

No. Persist with InfoPath. Word will recommend that you use InfoPath --
it's the tool designed for the job :-)

I don't like it when it comes to data binding. It becomes very complicated
particularly when you try to build a seamless database or xsd to run a
survey. You can't mess up with your research data and you can definitely not
sue Microsoft for their poor interface design (for some applications) :-)

Hi ?B?UGV0ZXI=?=,

Well, Word has absolutely no databinding or anything even resembling what
InfoPath can offer you in that respect. There are tutorials for building Word
forms on the word.mvps.org website. But anything that goes beyond the user
typing in the data and the form automatically saving that to a separate csv file
you have to program.
