Default How do I create a "fillable" message form in Outlook?

You need to ask in a Word forum, since that is the application you are using to create the form. This forum is for Outlook custom forms programming issues.

I came across this thread while trying to solve a similar problem. Perhaps
you can help me.

I created, and now support, a web site for my church. I use Word so that,
when someone else takes over the support, they can do so without extensive
knowledge of sophisticated software. I have been very pleased with this
process so far. Now I have a problem.

My church wants to have members of the congregation complete a form on-line
and submit it via email to an office member. I've created the form on a web
page and everything looks good. I see the "top of form" line, all of the
text boxes along with the explanatory data, and the "bottom of form" line. I
included the Submit button, highlighted the button, and inserted a mailto
hyperlink.

I tested this in Word and pressed Ctrl and the submit button. The email box
came up but there was nothing in the message box. I tested this with the
Submit button inside AND outside the form. What am I doing wrong and how do
I make this work? They need this form as soon as possible so I really need
some help.
