I would like to scan an existing form onto my computer using Word and be able
to complete the form on my computer and then print it out. Is this possible?

Probably, but it will take you several hours worth of work to accomplish
that. Is it really worth it for a one time effort?

Thanks JoAnn,

Sounds like it will be easier to just try and create the form. I will be
using the form quite a lot, but it is NOT worth several hours of work.

That's what you'd end up doing - recreating the wheel. There's no
"click-click" way to do it.

There is no simple way to do this with Word, however if you have lots of
forms to fill, the forms module with some versions of Fine Reader OCR
software makes form filling a breeze.
