No programming is necessarily necessary, Michelle!
What you need to do though is include a table at the end of your
document which contains all the relevant info in a single line, like
this:
_____________________________________

_____________________________________
You get the picture, I'm sure. Get it all on one row, though. You can
populate the table using fields to pick up contents of fields on your
main form, and even hide this single-row table if you want.
When you want to get the data into Excel, simply unhide this row, then
convert the fields into text (CTRL+SHIFT+F9, I think) then select all
the cells, copy, open Excel to your main sheet, put the cursor in column
A on the first empty row, and paste. Job done.
This would become quickly tiresome for a large number of operations, but
for just 20, it's by far the most practical way to do it. Come back if
you want to do it for 100 users and we'll talk about a coded solution!

Subject: [mso] Collecting Data with Word and Converting to Excel
I was wondering if it's possible to make a form in Word to collect
information from a group of 20 people and then dumping each piece of
information into a large excel spreadsheet? We want to manipulate the
data and that's why we want it in excel format. If that doesn't sound
like it would work, do you have any other ideas? Would this involve some
programming?
Thanks,
