No, you would have to have Adobe Acrobat Professional to create fillable
forms, but then anyone who has Adobe Reader could fill them out.

A Word document (any version) can be opened only by those who have Word
or
the Word Viewer (get it from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en).
If you want a more universal format, you can convert it to PDF (most
people
have Adobe Reader) or RTF. None of these solutions will help with
filling
out forms, however (unless you create a fillable PDF form). But users
who
have Word 97 or above should be able to open Word 2003 documents.

I have Word '03. I created a form that i would like to email around.
How
should i save the document? With what file extention? It needs to be
accessed
by those that dont have the current version of word.
I've already tried saving it as a word '97 version and people were
still
unable to open it.

any suggestions?
thanx!
