I am trying to create a ballot in Word. How do I add a button to this form
that the user can click on to e-mail the ballot to a pre-established e-mail
address?

What version of Word and are you showing the Reviewing toolbar?

Word 02 and yes, I am showing the reviewing toolbar (although, I don't really
know what that is for).

Then you already have the mail icon on your toolbar.

ok, now that makes sense....however, I'm trying to do something different:

I am preparing a ballot for electing officers for an organization that I
want to e-mail to the members. Since most of the members have fewer computer
skills than I do (if you can believe that), I would like to have a button on
the ballot itself that the voter can simply click after selecting the
appropriate radio button to vote for a candidate.

I have already added a button to the form, however, I don't know how to make
the button send the form once pressed.

Is it possible to do this rather than ask the voters to click the e-mail
button and then fill in the "send to" address?

Thanks for your assistance.
