You might create a form on a Web page that allows users to search a database on a Web server for a specific book. The user types the name of the book into your form and clicks the Submit button that you placed on the form. The information is sent to the Web server and the database is searched. The results are sent back to the user and appear in another Web page in their Web browser.
You might also create a customer survey. When the user submits the form (by clicking the Submit button that you placed on the form), the information is sent to a database on your Web server for later use.
Adding form controls to a Web page
You create a Web form in the same way you normally create a Web page, and then you use the Web Tools toolbar to add form controls. Microsoft Word provides several standard Web form controls. When you add your first control, Word inserts a Top of Form boundary above the control and a Bottom of Form boundary below the control. These boundaries appear when you design the form and will not appear when the page is viewed in a Web browser You can add other controls to the form by placing them within those boundaries. You can have more than one form on the same Web page. Each form exists between its own boundaries.
Setting properties for Web form controls
After you insert form controls on your Web page, you can set their properties. The properties of a form control allow you to manage how data is communicated to a Web server. For some controls, the properties determine how the controls look on the Web page. To set the properties for a control, click the control, click Properties 
, and then set options in the Properties dialog box.
