This is what I did once: I displayed the Word document (or the part of it that
I wanted in a graphic) in Print Preview at the size I wanted the graphic to
be. Then I took a picture of it with SnagIt and made a .gif. I should think
your friend could do that with forms, but maybe I'm missing something.
