Default building forms for work

The question is this: i need to make up a couple of diff. types of forms for work - did i need to buy new softwear. i plan on e-mailing the forms to employees to fill out and e-mail it back. the forms will have a drop-down list (about 50% of the time). i am having trouble using word 2000 and it is also taking a long time. what is the best way to do this.

thanks

Create the forms properly. Word is quite adequate for the purpose, and
shouldn't be taking a long time. What troubles are you having?
