How do I get my Word-created web form to export to Excel?

[spyrie]

I have a form I've created in Word, and saved as a web page. Mailto actions
for the Submit button won't work, because the target users don't have
Outlook, and from testing, it looks like it simply brings up a blank email
without the selected information anyway. The server is not going to be set
up to allow SMTP.
ASP or Perl are not options either, since Word is the only app I have to
work with.
Can I configure the form to send all the information to my email without
SMTP, or perhaps just shoot it into a designated Excel spreadsheet?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?c3B5cmll?=,

You need to ask this in a newsgroup that deals with internet web form questions
(NOT a Word group). FWIW, Word is a very poor choice for doing anything but the
most simple web pages. It certainly isn't the right tool for creating a web
form.
