Why don't you save the forms as templates and the user downloads the =
template?

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has an answer to this problem.  I produce a number of =
forms that are a requirement of our quality system.  Users download a =
form in MS Word format from our website, complete it with the relevant =
details and save to a folder.  The problem is that when the form is =
downloaded the margins and pagination change according to the Normal =
template loaded on their PC.  Each form is based on a template but the =
path to the template is lost when the file is downloaded.
A PDF form will not work because not all staff member have Adobe Acrobat =
on their PCs and management do not want to buy muliple licenses.
Is there a way I can link the template to the form so that it is =
downloaded together with the form so that the margins do not change?  =
Any other ideas or form formats that may work?
All the best.
