Emailing a fillable Word form with embedded Word Viewer?

S

Steve Vincent

I'm juggling between using a fillable Word form or a fillable PDF form to
send out to customers via email. It's a registration-type form. I know that
if users don't have at least Adobe Reader 7.0, they won't be able to fill a
PDF form, and even if they do have 7.0 or above, the returned form via email
will just be the data in .xml format. On the Word side, not everyone has MS
Word on their PCs either. But I think the "fill and return by email" would
be better using Word, if there was some way to send the Word form along with
a Word Viewer -- EMBEDDED in the file? Does such a thing even exist? A
run-time version of a Word document?

Thanks in advance for any information on this topic. Much appreciated!

Not to mention that you can't edit a file using the viewer, so users
wouldn't be able to fill the form.
