Default from paper to work sheet

Hi,

im very new here to this site, but i was wondering if someone here could point me in the direction i need to go...

Backstory:

Where i work use a paper version of filling out workpermits in our process area.
This permit contains lots of check boxes and areas to fill in what kind of work is to be done.

To replace check boxes i was thinking dropdowns that autofill some text due to certain conditions.

I was thinking of using Excel to transform it from paper to worksheet but im not sure if that is the best program to use. I have heard someone say that Infopath is a better tool, but i am not familiar with that program, i use Excel for most things.

So my question becomes, does anyone have some tips for me, on how to make this sheet? - should i use another program than excel?

anyway,

Thanks for any repons i get!



- Olinoxy!

Well, ultimately, it depends on your end goal! Whatever software you use, you should use that software to it's purpose.

This sounds like it could be Excel, but the first quote (lots of check boxes) could be done in Word. Infopath I have used once and it fit my purpose at the time, but I could have easily used Excel or Word, but Infopath offered something which made it the more efficient software to use.

Hope this helps. In the end, look at the end goal and use the tool that fits in best.
