Default Word forms with non-Word users

I need to create a form in Word 2003 that will be used by the general public.
This takes into consideration the lowest denominator of user, which may not
own a copy of Microsoft Office, but instead have Works or a competitor
product installed on the machine.

The form will not have any Macros and will be locked and protected. Simple
text fields and checkboxes.

Is it possible for someone without Microsoft Word 97 or later to open,
complete, save, and print this type of form?

Thank you,

Nat

Not a Word form, no. Unless your lowest denominator excludes an Internet
connection, I'd try setting this up as a web form. And no, not with Word ...
