Hi.
I'm new to Outlook Forms. I have a Word document that I would like to
convert into an Outlook Office Form (Outlook 2002). Currently, we have a
Message form that includes the Word document as an attachment, but what I
would really like to do is have the contents of the Word document (which is a
Word form) embedded in the message body so that it can be filled out by
anyone and then sent to a pre-determined distribution group. I was trying to
use the Office Document feature in Outlook but it doesn't appear to function
as the following instructions (from an Outlook 2000 Q&A webpage) indicates:
Steps to Create an Office Form
To create an Office Form, follow these steps:
1. Start Outlook.
2. On the File menu, click New and then click Office Document.
3. In the New Office Document box, click Microsoft Word Document (or other
type of Office Form) and then click OK.
4. Click to select either Post the document in this folder, or Send the
document to someone, depending on the type of Office Form you want to create,
and then click OK.
============================================================
I can't seem to locate where I would accomplish item 4. Is this
functionality no longer available in Outlook 2002 or does it work
differently? Is there a better way for me to accomplish what I want than to
approach it this way? Appreciate any guidance from the experts in this
discussion group.
Thanks,
Michael
