Macro - info from doc to web

[Louise]

I would like to write a macro that grabs information from
a Word document and sends it to a web page.

For example, if I had a Word form that asked for First
Name and Surname, I would like to be able to get the
information filled in for First Name and Surname and open
up a web window with the address http://www.google.com?
q="'First Name'+'Surname'", so that Google would perform a
search on the name that was entered into the form.

It doesn't have to be done with a form, just this was the
most obvious way I could think of isolating the
information needed.

Can anyone point me towards how I might achieve this, or
to a forum or web site where I can get more help?

Many thanks,

Louise
