I have created a questionnaire form in Microsoft Word document.

I want to make this form available on a website for filling in, downloading and printing.

What is the best way to make this form available online?

Do i make an html page with the form on it or do i make it into a PDF file?

Also how does one convert it into PDF format for download and print?

I hope someone can help me?

Thanks in advance.

In Word you can save the file as a webpage. Go to File > Save As. When the box appears change the "Save as type" menu near the bottom to "Web Page" and then press Save.

Then simply upload that page to your site.

As far as converting to a PDF file is concerned you'll need some sort of software. Here's (http://www.google.ie/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=html+to+pdf) a link on Google that might help find that software.

Hope this helps :)

or if the actual form needs to be filled out, then printed, your best bet would be to use Perl to complete the task...
Theres a great article about this here:

It's where I started my perl experience :D

I wouldn't recommend using Word to create the HTML code for you though because Word was not designed for making web pages, or HTML. Sure you can do it, but you will have a pile of poo on your hands in terms of code. Just use what you have in Word as an outline for what you write up in HTML.
