I am new to Infopath and can't seem to find this answer. If I create a form
in Infopath do the recipients of the form have to have the program or can
they open it in Word also?

I am looking to create new monthly surveys but I know not all of my
organizations have Infopath.

Thanks for the help.

If your Infopath forms document library on Sharepoint is set to 'display as
webpage' then your clients do not need the application/program however, you
will lose some functionalities that can only be used if the client
application is invoked.

I am looking to create new monthly surveys but I know not all of my
organizations have Infopath.

In this case you should set your Infopath doc library to display as webpage
- to do this:
In your document library click on settings -> form library settings ->
advanced settings -> browser-enabled Documents - you should have the option
to either use the client application or display as webpage.

Thanks for the help.

Hope this helps
